Lots of Lilies - December 2015

We seem to also have a large collection of lilies. Here are some blooming in summer 2015/16.

This peace lily followed us in the move and is doing really well. It has by now been separated into very many pots. It did very well this recent summer and flowered a lot.

Also picked up a beautiful oriental lily from Bunnings in December. This went on to fully flower with massive deep pink flowers and strong fragrance. It even put up a new shoot. At this point, it has mostly died back since we are going into winter. Hopefully it will bounce back next spring/summer.

In late December, we picked up a red anthurium lily which did very well and has been separated and flowering constantly even up till now (late May 2016). However, we have been having quite a warm autumn which might influence that. Not sure if it's a miniature plant because it has much more slender stems than others we've seen.

I thought this looked particularly like an IKEA advertisement. It wasn't intended - we move our lilies around, indoors and out, to brighten things up.
