Lilium - Leslie Woodriff

Notation: Re-posting at the invitation of Magical Mystical Teacher, for the all new Ruby Tuesday 2 this year.

Photograph taken yesterday; this lilium is growing as tall as me, and is staked in place next the back fence.





The flowers want to face downwards

  14. Had one similar to these for two years in my little garden - called a 'Star Gazer Lily'...think the gophers got the roots because 'it is no more'...and it smelled so good!!! Yours are awesome!

thanks for visiting Snap Happy Birding, and for leaving a comment; I can still see them. Now both my blogs are resting in idle mode. It was time to give other things priority, even though I miss my regular blogging and the feedback that came my way over the years. Take care.
