I love my Tiger lilies. I grow a number of different types of lilies but I think I like the original tiger lilies that came with my house best.
Even though we’ve hit another cold spell I’d swear that I saw some lily sprouts out in the garden. They grow well through April and May and often bloom depending upon what kind of spring and summer we are having any where from mid June to Mid July. The last few years they’ve bloomed by Mid June if memory serves me correctly.
Did anyone get any flowers for Easter? For some reason Lilies are often included in Easter flower bouquets. They aren’t Easter flowers to me, but I guess they are to some people.
I hope everyone has enjoyed this long weekend. Happy Easter to All.

Lilies are indeed very very pretty. I love that they are so big. It’s hard to not notice them 🙂
I find it peculiar that our weather spell seem to accompany each other so well, despite the big distance between sweden and Canada. We’re having a cold spell here right now too! sunny, but icing cold!
I’m having spring feelings anyway 🙂
You know how to grow |Tiger Lillies, Tricia!
On this chilly Easter weekend I’m going to be potting up canna root and other plant roots for Green Thumb Sunday.
Very beautiful image. I love photographing flowers.
Luscious color, that is!
Fabulous colour! Our lillies are just starting to peek through the ground and the dreaded lily beetle has shown its face very early here this year.
I’m seeing so many lilies and other bulbs for Green Thumb Sunday this week, but I have to say your Tiger Lily is the show-off of them all, lol! So spectacular and showy – just lovely!
Yes this lily has a spectecular colour. I can see my few lilies in the garden sprouting as well…..but the scarlet lily beetles are active as well , I found some holes in the leaves.
Happy Easter to you! Frohe Ostern

Those are so beautiful. My mother planted tiger lilies last year, so they should be coming back. The rain attacked them over the summer. She also has tons of day lilies. I think I’m going to snag a few for myself, she wouldn’t mind :-D.
Thanks for the comments! I thought that photo came out pretty nicely myself.
Sheena – Lilies are very easy to grow. Just collect some of the bulbs from your mothers garden and plant them about three or four inches apart in perhaps a circular grouping of 10 or 20 bulbs and you’ll have a nice clump of lilies in no time. Just watch for squirrels … they love to dig up bulbs or anything whenever they notice that we’ve been digging in our garden beds.
Beautiful photograph with lovely colours!
