For Mother's Day 2008, Catherine sent me some lilly bulbs. I planted them. They started growing. The rabbits promptly ate them.
For 2009, I put cages around the sprouts--no rabbits this time!
The lillies bloomed.
The bigger, peach-colored bloom was fragrant as well.
When we put in the fence in 2007, I had purchased 3 day lillies at a garden shop (Stein's) while visiting Catherine in West Bend. I planted them; they started growing last year and the rabbits promptly ate them all off. 2009--better protection, and this is my reward!
It has been so exciting to see the colors, because I had forgotten what I had purchased.

I can already envision these spreading and being able to split them and plant some in other parts of the yard.
As long as I can keep the rabbits at bay.
And one bonus--my tall phlox is doing well this year.

The flowers are beautiful! I don't think I've ever seen a peach double flowered daylily--that's very cool! I'm glad the lilies are working out this year...
