Lilium 'Fairy Morning'

The flowers have opened up a bit more since this morning.

That is lovely Aaron #julieswishlist

Stunning 👍🏼

Lovely pic 👏

Beautiful!

I've never seen these before being on GT....do you plant the bulbs in fall or spring? Would love to add these....

Gorgeous

@riakat you need to plant the bulbs in fall

Thanks, I'll see if I can find some when the time comes

Not familiar with this Lily, it's gorgeous.

Me neither @carolhen , but it looks lovely 👍

@tiggrx very elegant. Like it! Do they wif like other Lilies?

These are the only two Martagon Lilies that the deer haven't eaten (yet...).

Beautiful form ☺

We have problems with the deer here but our Labs do a good job

@tiggrx Like this lily 'Fairy Morning'. Think I'll adopt it since I seem to be away with the fairies most mornings. 🤗

@tiggrx Just Googled 'Fairy Morning', what a pretty colour! I'm only familiar with the species and the white varieties. I'd like to try some but I need to research them a little as I'm not sure my garden would suit them.

@kathy I only rarely see deer in the actual garden but when I plant into the woodland things often get eaten by deer or rabbits.

@tash74 I was hoping they would naturalise in this little bit of woodland so planted the species plus 6 cultivars to hopefully give a range of seedling colours. However I think I'll be lucky if any flower at all at this rate. I think generally they are supposed to be easy to grow so hopefully you have somewhere suitable.

They are a pain and if not them the blinking red lily beetle

Bummer on them getting munched by wildlife. :( mine are fenced in but I guess I will have to be more concerned about critters when we move to a much larger lot. 😬

@tiggrx Yes hopefully, I have a little border at the end of the garden which has woodland conditions, very dry there and mostly shaded under a horse chestnut and an oak. The pleasures of tree preservation orders in urban gardens! Its only small but having the trees gives me options. It's a complete contrast to my last, South facing, very open garden. I saw them planted en masse once at Daylesford, Gloucestershire, home of the Bamford family of JCB fame. They've been on my #tashwishlist

@sandraescapes @MelanieAt I can't really complain. I love seeing the deer so have to compromise by letting them eat here.
