Re: I rudskyi

 

Thanks Lars.
 
When I was sent rudskyi, I was told the leaves curl and fold down to the ground when in bloom, but I haven't seen that happen here. 
 
The other thing was in some years, the rhizome totally disappears after bloom.  It did that the year I had to move it from the nursery bed, so I was glad I'd marked it on 3 sides.  I just scooped up the soil down a few inches with my shovel, replanted it where it is now, and hoped for the best.  whew!  It's a nice sized clump now.  I'll try to take a picture when more flowers are in bloom.  Perhaps it'll be dry enough by then for me to step into that bed.
 
Yes, I grow lots of lilies too.  Right now, only my few martagons are setting buds.  The asiatic & orienpet lilies seem slow to come up this year, but the weather has been erratic, to say the least.
 
When I checked back re last year's pictures, looks like my martagons started mid July.

Hi El,

Very nice ? I have not seen it before.

 

I can see you also are growing lilies,

When are they starting blooming at your place? My first Div. II plants are starting late June.

Med venlig hilsen / Kind regards

Blooming here today, but it's been raining so much I can't get into that bed to get a picture.  Here's one from last year.
