Garden Lilies, Addicted to Lilies


Bed of Lilies, Orange spotted Tiger Lily
with a giant Yellow Asiatic Lily in rear

We've had a fabulous bloom this year. After years and years of work we have seen the fruits of our labors,
the imagined has come to be. It is rewarding and beautiful, spectacularly beautiful. Our bloom mirrors my addiction, and addition that was never so obvious to me as it was this year, an addiction to lilies.

Yes, lilies. Lilies of all types, expecially fragrant lilies, are my addiction. if at first they don't grow, I buy them again and try again. This year's bloom made it clear. I have spent a lot of time and money trying to get my life filled with the beauty of lilies. Well, its obvious. It worked. These are not all of my lilies, but a good sampling of such. My photos should speak more than my words ever could. If only you could smell my garden...you'd be carried away to heaven.  Enjoy.
