New Bloom........


I have been watching three different stalks that had very large buds on them.  I didn't remember what they were as I think they were planted two years ago.  I had a bad year for lilies last years and a lot of them were trying to bloom during a hot dry spell and the buds shriveled up rather than open.  To  my surprise they were as big as a regal lily and they have a light smell of a stargazer.  The color is wonderful.  I took this photo as the sun was going down so I could get better color in the shot.






It is such a delicate looking color and the size is great.  It was a surprise to see color as the buds were pure white as if they were going to be a white regale lily. The two stalks were planted together and why the crazy gardener planted on in another area is beyond my understanding.  I must have thought I should scatter the color.
