The petals have probably blown away like you thought Sue. I have never heard of lilies so late.

When I visited Seaburn last Saturday, we went to see her plantman, and I bought two pots of bright orange lilies in bloom - £1 each. She's going to enjoy them for now, then she'll send me the bulbs so I can grow them next year! ;D

Yes - it was a kind offer, wasn't it. They're a great colour and they're just what I wanted for my hot border this year.

lovely to have lilies now Lou I think that rose is a beauty Merlin I agree with Grindle's comments completely. Those lilies are certainly late Lou. Mine are all finished now, but the ones in pots retain their stems which have been cut by about a half.
