During these warm, languid summer days, my lilies are blooming. It's a good thing they don't seem to mind the lack of water. Nonetheless, a good downpour would be thirst-quenching for the dusty earth. Besides, my rain barrel needs a refill!
My mom used to grow lilies, which may well be one reason why I do. Is there something you grow because a loved one did (or still does)?
This stem caught my eye. With some buds stretching out to the left, others to the sky, and the bloom reaching to the right, I'm reminded of a dancer's graceful movements. Just a bit of whimsy, on my part.
I'm joining Little Red House for Mosaic Monday. Head over to Mary's blog and see her gorgeous photos!
Thank you so much for visiting. If you have a little time, linger awhile and take a look around my garden. You're welcome here.
I love day lilies...especially the orange ones...they add such a great pop of color to the garden!
ReplyDeleteI love your gorgeous lilies.The colors are all gorgeous. Beautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteFabulous mosaic! So glad I popped over! xoxo, tracie
ReplyDeleteBeautiful lily mosaic. This is my first year to grow lilies in any significant number - we now have a deer fence! I am looking forward to seeing the lilies open up and to having lots of colour in the beds.
ReplyDeleteWhen the daylilies are blooming, I see no reason to focus on anything else. Yours are lovely. I especially like the six petaled one with its petals spread. It's a new one to me. Lovely, lovely mosaic.
ReplyDeleteOh, your lilies are beautiful! I actually have some peonies that my mother grew, and they always remind me of her... xoxo
ReplyDeleteYou have a beautiful blog! Beautiful pictures of the daylilies. They are a staple in my garden and are in flower now looking wonderful during our drought. Take care and have a great week:)
ReplyDeleteI grow many colours of daylilies and I love that they are relatively maintenance free. Lovely mosaic. V

Lovely Lilies, and your mosaic is stunning.
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking the long route to my MM post :) I wonder why my link wasn't working? I re-submitted it on Mary's blog, and I appreciate your letting me know it wasn't working.
ReplyDeleteYour day lilies are very beautiful! I love their assortment of colors. I wish I had more room in my garden to grow more lilies and other flowers. I love visiting blogs such as yours so I can enjoy your flowers. I'm becoming a follower!
Beautiful collage of your lilies! Love the single photo a the bottom. Very pretty. ~ Pamela
ReplyDeleteDaylilies are one of my favorites. I have quiet a few of the yellow variety. They are very hardy, one of the few withstanding our triple digit temps. Your photos are lovely, and a beautiful mosaic.
ReplyDeleteHope your have a great week.

Gorgeous pictures!
ReplyDeleteI always grow petunias because they remind me of my mother.
I have enjoyed reading through your post, and enjoyed the beauty of flowers. Thank you for sharing it with me.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful mosaic of day lilies in many different colors!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous daylilies. I love the extra color they give the garden right now. Sadly, the deer in the area have decided some of them are tasty!
ReplyDeleteThe lilies have seemed exceptionally happy this year, haven't they? They must love heat and humidity. Beautiful mosaic full of lovely flowers.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog and visiting my Lotus. I love your daylilies. I have several in my yard and they're in bloom. I'm now following your blog!
ReplyDeleteHi Karen
ReplyDeleteI have many lilies too and love them for their easy care. The red one in the top left of your collage is a beauty!
I would say peonies are my favourite to grow because of the ones my grandmother had.
