My OT hybrid lilies are starting to open ❤️

I love my Gaucho OTs (Oriental-Trumpet hybrid) - they smell lovely and look a lot like my star gazers, only bigger! This is the 2nd summer - I planted 6 bulbs in spring of 2023 and have several more that sprouted from those bulbs 🥰

That's pretty pretty.
- Thanks!
I'm going to have to move my star gazers after the growing season is done. They only bloom one flower each year, and have never sprouted new stems from the bulbs/scales!
Any day for my shorter orientals myself, the bulbs are starting to turn colour! And my rose is starting open up and more are starting to as well. Should be a bloomfiesta by this weekend!
- Ooh, that's exciting! They'll be beautiful!
