Casa Blanca and Stargazer ..they seem to have normal fat flower buds but have NOT opened yet !! <br />I love how you have paired the lily with your perennial flowers .. my favorite is with that dark red day lily and Orienpet Lavon .. stunning! .. They are all gorgeous but I understand how you feel about some of them .. sort of a let down and a bit too much work.<br />I bet your garden smells amazing though .. wish I could see and smell it in person : )<br />JoyCanadianGardenJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130452541076704075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2243579953985871041.post-6693638678938015932011-07-19T16:36:33.764-05:002011-07-19T16:36:33.764-05:00Total eye candy, once again, Eileen.

I have a few but need to add more. Also a question, do your lilies continue to increase every year, or do they gradually fade away? I have 'Red Dutch' and for two or three years, it did very well, but now it is starting to go backward, a few less flowering stalks and less height and flower size. I was just wondering if this is the way with lilies, even the newer kinds, or if I'm doing something wrong. Another one I never could grow was 'Casa Blanca' and I know two gardeners with a stand of them over 5' wide...sigh. <br /><br />I'll keep planting them in hopes someday mine will look as gorgeous as yours.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18368318730124533690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2243579953985871041.post-8085833274360064282011-07-19T10:27:53.313-05:002011-07-19T10:27:53.313-05:00Hi Lona,

I have a couple oreienpets and have ordered more for planting this Fall.I wanted some taller ones for the back of the Woodland bed.They had to be staked which was a disappointment but maybe all the wind and rain was the cause this year. I cannot believe how that one faded though.Your Dark Ruby daylilies are beautiful.I ordered a Chicago Apache Red for Fall and I am hoping it will be really red in color.<br />We had 90 degrees yesterday and then got hit by a storm.
