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!

You have an eye for beauty great and small, in light and shadow. Both the flowers and images are stunning. And so are you.

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

I love lilies, but so do the deer.

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~

Elaine said...

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.

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.

Bella Sinclair said...

Wow, so healthy and abundant, and the colors are wonderful! I can almost smell them from here!

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

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}}
