Our lilies and daylilies have really put on a show this year. I think I have counted 23 different types of lilies in our yard. All of the lilies that I've already shown are in posts which can be found by clicking on the label, LILIES, on my sidebar.
Today, I will show you seven more of our lilies. These --which have bloomed later than the others, are some of the prettiest ones I think. Above is a popular one which I have seen on several other blogs. Its name is STARGAZER. Six more are below.
ORANGE TIGER LILY
PINK PERFECTION
MUSCADET
OPUS I
BROADWAY
GOLDBAND
AMERICAN DREAM

The picture above was taken in June of 1959, and is me kneeling behind my mother's beautiful lilies. I wish the picture was in color. My Mom loved her flowers ---and our yard in my hometown in Big Stone Gap, Virginia was always one of the prettiest ones in the area (in my opinion).
Hope you have enjoyed seeing all of our lilies.
Hugs,

Hi Betsy, Love all your lilies and what a treasure that photo is of you. You should have George photograph you beside your flowers and enlarge and frame it and the one above together!
Love the orange tiger lily. Actually all of them are very pretty. I agree with Mildred you should have George take a pic with you by your flowers. Hope you have a great day Betsy. =)
Oh! such pretty blooms.The Stargazer is a beauty.Betsy,you sure have a beautiful garden.
Oh Betsy these are so beautiful.. I like the white ones. You can take a copy of your b/w photo and have it colored you know and still have the original b/w. What a cute photo!!
Oh and about the food at the cabin. We didn't eat out really, I cooked at the cabin!!
They are all so beautiful Betsy, but I especially like the Broadway. :c)
All the lilies are beautiful but my favorite photo is the one made in 1959.
absolutely beautiful!
Beautiful lilies, Betsy. It takes an unbelievable amount of work to have lilies around here. The deer think the blossoms are the best dessert around. Keeping them means lots and lots of deer deterrent on a regular basis.
All Beautiful lilies, but my favorite is the Stargazer. Just don't get the pollen on your clothes!
Your lilies are so pretty, Betsy. And I love the photograph of you with your mother's lilies. I'll bet y'all did have the prettiest yard in the area...and I'll bet you and George have the prettiest yard in your neighborhood! :-)
Betsy I like the American Dream and Pink Perfection best of these. Love those pinks!!
Hope you have a wonderful day!
What a wonderful picture of you with your mother's lilies! Today's are all beautiful, but American Dream is my favorite because of the colors.
Betsy, trying to play catch up, thanks for your visits! Muscadet's my favorite, but they all are real winners!
Fat Puppy Hugs fron the porch!
Like Mildred's idea. As for the lilies, got to love freckles.
Thanks to you, I am now a huge fan of that flower.
Keep those hands dirty.
I did enjoy your lilies...each one is more beautifully dramatic than the next...thanks for giving me the gift of beauty this morning...
Wow, those are beautiful! I didn't realize there were so many different kinds of lilies. You guys are great gardeners, but it must take a lot of time and a lot of work!
that's certainly a lot of lilies in one yard, but, oh, the view... GORGEOUS!
I love that pic of you & your momma's lilies! Great memories!
I like your lilies but LOVE the photo of you in your mother's garden. ;-)
At first I did not even see YOU behind the lilies. Well it is easy to see where you get your love of flowers from.
I had stargazer lilies in my wedding bouquet..they are special to me too.
Betsy, your flowers are extremely beautiful. Your yard must be like a park. Yours are the kind of blossoms I was looking for when we visited our city's rose gardens. You must have a very special touch--or is that a "green thumb?"
God bless your day! Janice from Indiana
Ooooooooooooo!!!! They are gorgeous! Thanks!
I'm so jealous when I see all this lovliness! That first lily is beautiful and I love the Muscadet and the American Dream, too. YOu guys work very hard and the results are wonderful.
That orange tiger lily is GORGEOUS! All your flowers are pretty but I am partial to that one now! LOL! Love seeing that photo of you - you're still a beauty!! Big Hugs, Cat kisses, puppy smooches and all that other good stuff! :-) Shelley
Thanks so much for sharing the beauty of your yard.Each Lily is spectacular.
Blessings,Ruth
Such incredible beauty and all in one garden !
i like the white ones best, but they are all so gorgeous.
So maybe your green thumb came from your mum, like mother like daughter ;)
Betsy, I've just been catching up on your last 12 entries. Yes, I was WAY behind what with the trip to the coast and that Mingus keeping me hopping!
Your flowers are amazing ... you have such a variety of types and colours. I mostly grow veggies.
That meal you had for your anniversary was AMAZING! I've never seen such a spread for two.
So I guess green thumbs run in your family.
Great pics & flowers.
Love the picture of you in the lilies when you were little.
Your lilies are beautiful. Your mother would love it I know.

All of the lilies are beautiful, my favorite is Broadway.
The picture of you and your mother's lilies is wonderful. A lovely memory.
Have a wonderful day,
Judy
Your lilies are gorgeous. How can you remember all the names? I would forget I'm sure with all that variety. My favorite is the photo of you behind your mama's flowers. I love old photos! That clump of lilies was gorgeous. I wonder what color they were...
I love lilies, but I never knew there were so many different types.
Love the lilies. Great photo of the Stargazer, but the Tiger Lily will always be my pick of these type of lilies.
You certainly do have some lovely lilies! I was glad to see the tiger lily. I drove home from middle TN today and thought I saw a wild tiger lily on the side of the road...of course, always where I can't stop to take a closer look. But maybe it wasn't a mirage after all!
You have such variety of Oriental lilies, Betsy. I think they are my favorites of all the flowers. Could it be the wonderful scent?
Donna
Mmmmmm! I can almost smell them from here! Gorgeous!!!
Wonderful!
You obviously inherited your mom's love of flowers, especially lilies!
You have such a great variety. It's amazing that all of those are in one yard.
I'd never seen some of the flowers you've put in this post. The last picture of you behind the lilies is really cute...
Beautiful!
I never realized there were so many types of lilies. Yours are all gorgeous, Betsy!
These are beautiful Betsy! I got my love of lilies from my Aunt Bev in Maine. I remember seeing them as a kid and they really caught my eye!
