June flowers

Here are some of the lilies that are blooming in the garden.

These white lilies were part of a mixed pack I bought years ago. The pack didn't name varieties or species.

The white lily just behind the pink poppies in the front was supposed to be a yellow variety, but it was mislabeled. I had planted it in a bed that didn't have any white in it so I moved it here last fall (turns out it's not in a good spot - it's getting lost). The pink poppies are from heirloom seeds my mother gave me. I had many, many more last year, but I put down fresh mulch this year so most of them weren't able to germinate.
 This little guy was from a plant exchange two years ago. Lilium asiatic 'Cancun'.
 This is lilium asiatic 'Yellow Pixels' from Brent & Becky's, my favorite bulb source.
 I think this is lilium asiatic 'Lollipop.'
There are other lilies that haven't bloomed yet. Here are a few other flowers blooming now.
This is Leucanthemum superbum 'Crazy Daisy' that I grew from seed last year. It's about two feet tall and hasn't flopped yet (unlike other daisies I've had).
 This is a really cool flower called Indian Pink (Spigelia marilandica).
 And finally, this was my attempt to have yellow climbing roses blooming with a purple clematis. Unfortunately, the climbing rose dies back so far each year, that it never really climbs the trellis. You can see one sad little blossom in the lower left of the picture.
