Extraordinary......

I had to take some pictures of some of the prettiest lilies I have ever grown. It probably does not sound very humble of me to say that I think they are extraordinary. Then again, I've had an extra ordinary year so maybe it really all fits. All I know is that the colors in my flowers seem brighter, I'm actually enjoying the dirge of watering for 45 minutes each day; I'm reminded that it is a tremendous blessing that I am healthy and able to do this. As I approach the one year anniversary of my operation, this becomes even more poignant to me. Can't you almost smell that lily "perfume"? Love that scent.

My stargazer lillies are not in bloom yet. I had quite an assortment of asiatic lillies this year that were very colorful. Enjoy the wonders of the garden! Thanks for posting the pics of the beauties you have grown.

Thanks to both of you for your very kind words. I'm loving my floswer this year even a little bit more than before. Thanks for looking. Joellyn

Gorgeous!! I have stargazers too, and am continually amazed that they will actually grow for me:) (In the past I had a VERY black thumb). I think the lilies are celebrating your anniversary with you...
