My Lily regale 'album' has just opened. It is a very welcome sight after the mess last year due to the wet. And still no lily beetles!

They are really lovely. I am still waiting for my 'Stargazers' to flower. :D

I have Stargazer. I think it starts flowering right at the end of July (in Yorkshire, at any rate). Pink Paradise starts before that and is a good scented Oriental. Staccato will be the next to flower for me. It is a striking deep orange/red but not scented.

Think I'll have to write out a list, I have so many varieties, including ones which I've lost the names.  :(  right now my African Queens are so tall, I have to tie them to the fence so they don't fall over and snap off. Today I bought 3 Dizzy bulbs on clearance which will flower next year. They're fragrant.

There are a lot of varieties which are look-alikes. I think this applies to most that I see in garden centres. I bought all my bulbs from a mail order firm whose name I have forgotten but I wouldn't mind buying some more, possibly including the African Queens and 'ordinary' Regale (i.e. not Album). Can anyone suggest a reasonably priced mail order firm?
