If they don’t smell and tend to stay a lot shorter, they’re more likely to be the asiatics. If they grow a lot taller and have a smell (that I personally love), they’re probably the oriental type.

Trumpet and daylilies (along with lily of the valley, calla lily, toad lily, easter lily, turk’s cap, and several others, are a lot easier to tell apart based on looks, but the Asiatic and Oriental types always confuse me until I smell them!

Some references (which, I have to use something as reference every year):

• https://www.thespruce.com/asiatic-lily-care-guide-7510540 (which is where I get reminded “Unlike Oriental lilies, which bloom in late summer and are known for their aroma, Asiatic lilies bloom in late spring or early summer and have little to no scent.”)

These are gorgeous! Beautiful colors, and it looks like a lot more to come! ❤️

Ooh, that’s exciting! They’ll be beautiful!

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!

Your flowers are gorgeous! That’s all in one pot?? Beautiful ❤️ I bet they smell great that close to the house 😍

They’re one of my faves, too! I have 2 (that I don’t water as regularly, so they’re still small) that I think I’ll move closer this fall/winter. You’ve done an amazing job with them, and inspired me!

Tight-rolled jeans with rolled-down socks.
Also, aforementioned backwards clothes - even trained my Grandma to reply “jump, jump?” 😁

That’s awesome! Good idea keeping mosquitoes away - I’m a friggen mosquito-magnet and get a new bite almost every time I go outside (and most of the lawn is kept tidy, but we don’t clean up all the long grass in the “lily garden” - yet)

Very nice! They bounced back well! What else is in there with them? The bigger bushy leaves look kinda like geranium to me, but it’s just a guess
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
