stargazer lily August 21, 2006
Posted by Sandy in a small garden in maine.trackback
The lily came as a nice surprise. I bought some bulbs from the granddaughter of a friend last spring. The order was delayed, and I didn’t get them until late June. I planted the bulbs right away, but didn’t expect to see flowers this year. This one plant chose to bloom. It has three flowers on it, big, bright, beautiful flowers. The flowers are only about a foot off the ground, so even with a kneeling pad, I almost had to stand on my head to get this shot. Glad I was out behind the garden!
These are such vibrant, colorful lilies. They really steal the show when in bloom. Lucky you!
Your photos are breathtaking! What a beautiful garden you have. I am so envious of those who can make things grow – sadly, it’s not a talent I was blessed with.
Hi Sandy, Your blogs are beautiful! I love all of your photos, I think it’s a great idea to photograph interesting old doors! I’ll be spending some catching up with your blogs and website! Thanks for sharing your beautiful photos!
I should get some of those. They are so beautiful. Do they smell as good as the ones in floral arrangements?
Meredith, just ran out to see how they smelled. Not so good! I searched on google a few minutes ago, and found that not all have the good fragrance. Oh well, they are pretty.
