This is the black eye lily I planted on Feb. 5 2016. February 5 is my dad's birthday. These are Asiatic hybrid lilies and I plant the bulbs/corms in containers. That way the gophers don't eat the bulbs and the plants have excellent drainage and when they are not in bloom I can move them to an out of the way area of our garden.

WoW!!! that's a gorgeous flower, captured beautifully!!!
That is so pretty! I like your tip on how you plant it. We have had these disappear, so I think it's a good idea to try!
So pretty! I have a few Asiatic lilies.

Gorgeous colour, certainly worth waiting for.
beautiful photo's and beautiful flowers. Thanks for sharing!
Ooooo, these are pretty, Terra. And how special that you planted them on your dad's birthday. I had daisies planted in my back yard around mother's day, and they did not do well, so I got some purple flowers at the nursery today. We'll see how they do.

I love lilies, and that one is gorgeous! Unusual coloring, too.
Terra these lilies are stunning!!! Ohmygosh I LOVE them!! What a sweet thing to do; planting them on your Dad's birthday. They'll be special forever and I think part of his and your legacy.

Wow, those lilies are stunning, Terra. I've never seen ones with that colouring before. I've got asiatic lilies in pots here too, they're the bright orange ones.
Lovely lily with gorgeous coloring!
It's a rare kind of lily! My first time to see one in such color
