Garden 1 Front Garden in full bloom spring 97, taken from the side not front on.
Garden 2 Me planting in the Front Garden with Taj and Java supervising
Garden 3 Front Garden raised up wooden structure completed and ready to fill. Little did we know what was ahead of us
Garden 4 Taken not long after we shifted in, you see we started with bare clay soil. I am standing where the Front Garden was eventually built, looking back at the decking and the lounge.
Canterbury Hybrid Lilies I bought a bulb of Pink, Orange and Yellow and here they are in full bloom and the perfume is amazing.
*Corsica # - a nice asiatic lily
*Day Lily - A nice red/orange daylily
*December 97# The Front Garden around Christmas time, this is the "biggest" file and will take a while, but it is a good shot
*First House# - where I started gardening, you can see my first roses in pots in flower in the front, Friesia is there
Lots of Lilies Summer 94 after we shifted in I had lots of lilies in pots, this is a group of them. L-R Back row Corsica, Sulphur Song, Honeywind. Centre - Montreax and Robert Simonet in front of that
*Java sniffing Nomocharis # - nearly won a prize with this photo (wrong class entered) but a really cool photo!
*Me
and a Lily - don't know what the lily is but here I am holding it,
this was taken around 93/94
*Mona
Lisa - a lily I found in the Supermarket and liked. You can see why!
Muscadet A truly beautiful oriental Lily, I paid $15 dollars for it, the most I have ever spent on a lily in NZ (I imported 3 from America for $88)
Mystery Lily Don't know what it is but I like it.
*Nearly Nude - I never knew John took this photo until the prints arrived. A blown up version hangs on the wall, isn't he talented!!!
*Nomocharis - a relative of the lily, and I have been told hard to grow, but not for me, 5 flowers off this plant in spring
*Orange Lilies# - 3 bulbs of the same lily in a tub and I have no idea what it is, makes a nice show though.
*Purple Trumpet Lily - I was lucky to get this, it is a seedling but I love it lots.
*Red Tigrida - Also called jockey's cap, a nice red one here.
Sorbet A new asiatic lily, I love the colours personally
*Swahili - a very dark purple/black Iris and one of my favourites
*White Tigrida - Also called jockey's cap, only last a day but worth it
*Wisteria - I have sort of bonsaied this wisteria but every year I get more flowers from it and the fragrance is yummy
