Lilium 'Tiny Double You'

What a weird year, this Lily stayed green all summer and then decided to bloom in October. @gjones, are these lilies supposed to bloom in the summer?

Beautiful 🤗

Lovely lilies 🧡🧡

Thanks for the ID on this Lily. I'm glad to know it will winterize in our zone. @gjones

Thanks. They have made me happy because most of my other flowers have finished flowering. @hkyfvr @godfreye

Very welcome 🧡🧡

Look what I discovered this morning! I thought they were finished, but as it turns out, there was one last flower; however, due to the Japanese Beetle, no leaves were present, just one lonely skinny stem. @gjones

A pretty supply

Thanks! @janetandjim I love the pretty yellow💛.

I thought I had removed all the stems, but apparently not. @gjones. I believe you had sent me this one as well.😊

@kaigia what a great #companionplanting

So pretty!💛😍 Japanese beetles are the worst! Most of the flowers ive grown this year have been destroyed by them!

Thank you @petitelake. I love the self-seeding larkspur, they add so much to the garden.

@littlemorningglory Yes, they sure have been a problem. Have you had any success with Neem oil?

@kaigia I've not tried it! I always keep a neem oil mixture around (in case of a spider mite attack) but I haven't thought about using it for the beetles. Ill have to try it☺

The orange ones bloom first, the the light pinks, then the dark pinks and finally the yellow ones make their appearance.

How nice! Did you get them separately and mix them?

@gjones @MelanieAt Thanks! I love this little corner of my house. Fortunately, the Japanese beetles didn't get to them this year. I got the different colours separately and just kept on adding. This corner is so small that I am unable to add other plants to it to replace the lillies once they finish blooming for the year and then, it's just a sad-looking area.

Beautiful. Love the color combination

Thanks @tlv

So what I do with lilies is lasagna planting with other bulbs. I layer them to have interest throughout spring, summer and I have perennials around them to keep going well into fall.

@MelanieAt. Great idea. I will do some planning with dividing some of these and moving in other flowers.

Love the orange

@blasome thanks! The orange is the most exciting because they are the first to appear.
