A New Bloom........


This Asiatic lily is blooming in a vase filled with water sitting on our kitchen table.  I hit the stalk with the weed whacker and as you can see it bloomed anyway in spite of my bad treatment.  It took it about a week to start blooming.

So happy you could save the blooms. Such a pretty color. Hope you and your wife have a nice weekend.

I find these flowers always look better than they smell! Their perfume is rather overpowering, and I think you have to watch the pollen because it stains anything it falls on, including your clothes!

The Capitol.....

 A shot through a large window creates an unusual yet usual effect. The Iowa State Capital has new gold leaf on its dome.
