      Looking good. Excellent choice of subject and photography.

      I buy my wife several small lilies in pots during the year and then replant them in the garden. But we've some "Gulliver" lilies we planted at the beginning of the year, which will shortly be coming out.

      I've always liked lilies, Coincidently; this is my desktop background.

Why not hve a google & see & If you find some, try your local library & if they don't have it at your branch then request it..!! :wink::D

        :thumb: Hi Woo, thank you.. They are Casablancas.. A lovely one although I think mine are a tad smaller this year, but I am inclined to think this is due to our longer winter as all my lilies see smaller this year.. :scratch: :doh:
