OT HYBRID 'NYMPH'
While we grow a stupid number of varieties, but only the hardiest and most deserving eke out a place for themselves in our overcrowded beds.  Nymph is amongst the best of them, with an intense, musk-lolly scent and great vigor.  To around 1.5m here.  Gorgeous.

OT HYRBID 'LAGUNA'  I cant say enough about this overperforming monster; if your idea of a good time is 1.7 ms of enormous snow white, madly-scented oriental then this is the lily for you.  comes back harder every year, will form a huge mound of foot-sized bulbs.  Outstanding.

LILIUM PUMILUM
A dainty, cadillac-orange species bearing miniature but very floriferous trusses of these delightful blooms.  A charming scent; will peter out after three or so years so either let it go to seed or keep young plants coming on.  Easy to start from fresh seed.  Very worthwhile.

FORGIVE THE PAUCITY OF LILIES HERE AT THE MOMENT, PEEPS; WE'RE DIGGING OUT THE PICS AND GETTING OUR VARIETAL INFO STRAIGHT.  THAT MAY TAKE SOME TIME SO KEEP CHECKING BACK.
