    This is a pot filled with assorted Asiatic Lilies, just imagine what it is going to look like in a day or two when those swelling buds finally open, I have no idea what colors there are....except for the white one that opened overnight.

    Mini-stellas have started blooming, I collected these the last couple of years from the end of season sale table, first time they have bloomed so well.

    There is more blooming but the sunshine makes photos fade out so I will have to wait until later in the day to get good shots of them.

    Awww, you've got a Salvia named after Sjoerd's homeplace! Well, not exactly, but close enough. Your lilies look exciting. I think you'll have some reddish ones. I like the fish admiring the blanket flowers. At least it's got something pretty to look at.

    I agree with Cheryl. That White Asiatic Lily is beautiful. I would love to see the rest when they open.

    Lovely fotos again, Toni--What is that red flower nwext to the blue carp?

    Right you are, Droopy. In fact though, some of my ancestors did come from East-Friesland.
