Lilium

From a gift package of bulbs sent to me in 2009, this one is named Leslie Woodriff.  It grows tall, and needs staking.  The flowers face downwards and have a wonderful, heady perfume.  These photos taken moments ago ....

    Wonderful looking lilies! Mind the pollen - I think it stains anything it touches!

    Those lillies are beatiful. A most unusual colour.

    These are so beautiful to look at Carole, but I couldn't be in a room with them.

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.
