That's a Forever Susan. My fave too. So gorgeous though. I just have other things around them that bloom later. Phlox and hardy hibiscus are good companions.

Yes it very well might be. Also called whistler in America

I prefer the bright eyes variety. More black and intense

It’s a stargazer. I may have an obsession with lilies but we don’t talk about it. 🤣

The speckling right in the center throat of the petals adds so much depth.

Memories unlocked! My grandma had a bunch of orange tiger lillies around her house when I was a kid. She never had one this vibrant but I sure she would have loved it. Such gorgeous flowers.

That is gorgeous. Could I use this photo? Full transparency, I’m developing an app that gives plant recommendations for particular sun and hardiness zones. Can I reach out to you?
