That's dazzling, spectacular even, you always pick the greatest plants for your garden.

Wonderful. Does it have a scent involved?
I planted a white lily one year (back in the early 80's)and when it bloomed it scented the whole neighborhood. I could smell it from several houses away. It fell to gophers after bloom so I never had that same experience again. And I have not found another with nearly that effect.

HaHaHee, I remember the first time I smelled an asiatic lilly (I guess that's an Asiatic), I was in a client's yard, and when I stood up, I had the (milk mustache) from all of the pollen!!!

You can't really tell in the photo, but it's as tall as me, and the blooms are HUGE! It has a wonderful smell...everytime I get anywhere near it the scent is overwhelmingly sweet.

As Tall as YOU!????
So how big are those blossoms really?

that is awesome alan.

It's 50 ft tall and the flowers are 10 ft. wide!! :-) Ok..maybe not, but the flowers are actally about 12 in. wide.

ok, you had me going for a minute or two...

Climb that thing looking for geese that might lay golden eggs and things.

WOW I love that Alan!
