No worries! Like I said, I always have to check, between those 2. Looks like you'll have a ton coming in over the next weeks - of both!

So I guess I have a ton of the Asiatic lilies, a lot of the OT hybrid (also sometimes called Orienpet, but that sorta sounds silly to me), a few trumpets, and a couple oriental.
😁
Also, that many of the flowers that were sold as star gazer bulbs were definitely not.

If they don't smell and tend to stay a lot shorter, they're more likely to be the asiatics. If they grow a lot taller and have a smell (that I personally love), they're probably the oriental type.

Trumpet and daylilies (along with lily of the valley, calla lily, toad lily, easter lily, turk's cap, and several others, are a lot easier to tell apart based on looks, but the Asiatic and Oriental types always confuse me until I smell them!

Some references (which, I have to use something as reference every year):

These are gorgeous! Beautiful colors, and it looks like a lot more to come! ❀️

[–] mom@nom.mom 2 points 4 months ago

Ooh, that's exciting! They'll be beautiful!

I'm going to have to move my star gazers after the growing season is done. They only bloom one flower each year, and have never sprouted new stems from the bulbs/scales!

I love my Gaucho OTs (Oriental-Trumpet hybrid) - they smell lovely and look a lot like my star gazers, only bigger! This is the 2nd summer - I planted 6 bulbs in spring of 2023 and have several more that sprouted from those bulbs πŸ₯°

Ooh, damn that's rough!

I think we had some bars over asphalt/concrete/cement (I dunno, it was a big solid surface that was also the parking lot, the kickball diamond, the wiffle ball field, and where we had all of our field and track days) but I only ever fell off the ones over the rocks. I do remember friends with broken teeth or busted noses from that, tho.

I think wood chips were added later (after I was out of that school) "for safety" and then rubber mulch was an even later upgrade.

And when did something soft go in the playground area? Waaaay later, the school got actual grass in the playground - instead of playground equipment. πŸ™„ Building was closed within a few years of that happening.

…And right into rocks/gravel…

Your flowers are gorgeous! That's all in one pot?? Beautiful ❀️ I bet they smell great that close to the house 😍

They're one of my faves, too! I have 2 (that I don't water as regularly, so they're still small) that I think I'll move closer this fall/winter. You've done an amazing job with them, and inspired me!

That's awesome! Good idea keeping mosquitoes away - I'm a friggen mosquito-magnet and get a new bite almost every time I go outside (and most of the lawn is kept tidy, but we don't clean up all the long grass in the "lily garden" - yet)

[–] mom@nom.mom 2 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Very nice! They bounced back well! What else is in there with them? The bigger bushy leaves look kinda like geranium to me, but it's just a guess

Shown are some pink and (what I think of as) orange sherbet colored lilies that it seems like all the scales in 3 bulbs for each color came up, and some new (last year they didn't bloom) daylilies "Night Beacon" which had a lot more red on the petals and much less of the yellow throat on the packaging than in my picture...

This is what it looked like a couple of days ago. It's been in the 90's and rainy - so pretty miserable, but at least the rain keeps the plants happy!

In the lower left there are a couple of lilies that are slightly different - deep orange with a maroon or deep red throat:
Two-tone lilies with deep orange petals and a dark red throat
I promise you, most of the red/pink/raspberry lilies - the most prominent color in the picture - were actually like the two-tone orange and red ones when we planted them last year! What is up with that? lol

 

So here I have a bunch of the row open - I counted something like 12 flowers open and at least 25 more to go just in this row! I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to expand my lily garden at the end of the season.

The whole row:

Just the one so far, but I'm glad any made it this far!

What the deer has been eating instead:

 

As I was taking this picture of my lilies that are showing some reds, a deer ran from the side yard of my house, and through the back yard, and out the fence in the back! I was actually out there to check damages from the deer that was out there 3 hours before!

I'm getting a little tired of them eating my pansies, but at least they've been leaving the lilies alone. So far. And it helps a little that a mama deer brought her baby to the yard and they didn't eat the lilies, just the Jacob's ladders and sand cherry tree's um… cherries?

 

Saw a bunch of these crop up in our front yard and they look so delicate! I guess they came with the house and I hadn't noticed them before.

 

Is it an incoming begonia flower? Most of the plant is in rough shape, and I think it came with pests I didn't know about πŸ˜‘

 

Just tried again today, even though I wasn't expecting any different results from the last few Imagine my surprise! I'm pretty sure nothing happened on my end (Sync settings or instance).

Bug description

Have tried changing views in my inbox, and app has crashed each time.

Scenario

  1. Go to inbox (mine defaults to All Mentions)(From FAB)
  2. Change to All Messages (Also happens when switching to Unread/All Replies)

Result(s)

App crashes, every time I switch from All Mentions

Device information

Sync version: v23.09.13-09:43    
Sync flavor: googlePlay    

View type: Compact    

Device: bluejay    
Model: Google Pixel 6a    
Android: 13

Update 1

Seems to happen with the FAB inbox button, but not the Bottom Nav one.

Update 2

Happens from the Drawer inbox button, too.

Is this happening to anybody else?

 

Is it just an image-size thing? I try to proofread and format, including images. Up until the preview of my most recent post, I had never seen an image in the preview.

Is this a me-thing? An image size thing? Something different that I hadn't thought of? I like it, whatever the reason.

This one works: This one doesn't:

Thanks for any insight!

 

~~Edit: My post title says community, message says content. I'll proofread better next time. πŸ˜…~~

I was looking for new communities, saw this, and (as requested) am showing the message to @ljdawson@Lemmy.world

!egg_irl@lemmy.blahaj.zone

Thanks! (Thought this seemed an appropriate method, but if there's a better way to let you know, I'm happy to do that instead)
