TODAY'S FLOWERS - Oriental Lilies


This year I grew a few lilies in pots where I could keep them watered
and they sort of turned out all right. One even had 10 flowers on it.


I love the bright orange pollen


and the shadow-play of the stamens and pistil.



Enjoy the wonder of flowers and show yours as well on TODAY'S FLOWERS!

    Hope all is well, or at least getting better. ;)

  13. Oh they are beautiful Arija! I am sure missing flowers, yet a very nice neighbor sent me a bouquet from the nursery the other day, for something that I had done...expecting nothing in return. Have a happy week~

  14. Lovely!! Both your lilies and photos are beautiful. I love lilies, and have several lilies in my flowerbed. The Asiatics will come back year after year here fairly reliably, and they provide such a wonderful splash of color mid and late summer.

  15. Lilie są piękne i z pewnością mocno pachną. Ja muszę trochę poczekać, zanim zobaczę je w ogródku. Bardzo ładne zdjęcia. Pozdrawiam.*** Lilies are beautiful and certainly very fragrant. I have to wait a bit before you see them in the garden. Very nice pictures. Yours.

  17. They are a joy. I grow them here too, and love the structure and the scent. That pollen stains like nothing on earth though.

  18. Beautiful Lilies Arija. I once had some that looked just like these, but for some reason they didn't come up last summer.
    I hope all is well.{{HUGS}}
