GoGoGo BUY ME?

AURATUM PLATYPHYLLUM LILY
These ones seemed to do very well. They were grown from bulbs with no problems and were eventually decked in these vanilla-scented flowers.

BUTTERFLY GLADIOLI
Loads of greenery grew from the 25 corm thingies I planted, but just one of them flowered. Not a good turnout.

ELVIN'S SON LILY
Small, sunny and as yellow as the American cheese in Elvis Presley's cheeseburger.

EVEREST ORIENTAL LILY
The white lilies seem to grow really well in our garden for some reason. Or maybe there were more of these bulbs than there were others, I have no idea.

FORGET-ME-NOTS
Sowed the seeds for these some point last summer, then completely forgot about their existance until they grew.

gentiana sino-ornata
This wasn't grown, it was purchased in B&Q and planted in with some dodgy faux rocks. And then it flowered and amazement was felt by all. Last seen alive in 2003. Probably dead now.

Iris
Yes, irises. Didn't like them much before, but I have now decided I quite like them, even though they don't smell of much. Nice purples, naff photo.

journey's end LILY (MOISTENED)
Five bulbs were planted and one plant flowered. With one flower. Huh. I've been totally owned by Percy Thrower.

LA REVE LILY
This pink lily strangely turned up where it wasn't supposed to be; in a bowl of Toad Lilys. Either that, or my Toad Lilies are dangerous pink flowery mutants that will kill us all. I've been playing Far Cry too much ...

LILY OF MYSTERY
I have absolutely no idea how or why I have this lily. I didn't buy it, it wasn't given to me, it just turned up in my pot of other lilys. Could be a La Reve gone wrong. It's a nice looking mystery lily and I quite like it, even though it's origins vex me.

LOLLIPOP LILY
Yes, yet another lily that I haven't killed. Maybe one day some other flower may actually do me the courtesy of actually growing.

RED CARPET LILY
Groovy little red lilies that match my current hair colour. A bonus as my flowers normally clash profusely with my hair. Incidentally, you may have noticed that I like lilies.

Speciosus Conqueror
Groovy purpley autumn flowering crocuses that held up my J Parker Dutch Bulbs order for a stonking 58 days. I would have been most annoyed if they had died.
