The latest lilies in bloom

These are the latest lilies to bloom in Roxanne's garden. These are Star Gazer lilies, very popular and VERY fragrant IMHO, (well, maybe not so humble, but) outside is the best place for them.
Like all oriental lilies, Star Gazers grow from a bulb, and need to be planted in the fall in order to bloom the following spring and summer. In our area, they are perennial, meaning they come back every year. Lilies like full sun to partial shade. These are in heavy shade, but they've been blooming here for years!!
I have a great bulb catalog from Gloucester, VA, and they also have an online catalog.

HAPPY GARDENING!!!
