Lilies in the rain

20 years ago

Hi all! Well it's been bucketing down for most of the day today, which is slightly annoying because my boy-friend was meant to mow the lawns for me....never mind, the rain is lovely & always makes for nice pictures.

A nice red Lily sent to me by a fellow Gardenweb member, It just keep's getting better & better:

Some yellow ones I bought in a mixed pack a few years ago:

Some nice orange ones given to me by a friend, also a member of Gardenweb (we get around don't we?):

A nice pendulant red Asiatic called Cherrymac:

And finally the pristine white flowers of the Madonna Lily, Lilium candidum, look almost mournful in the rain:

Enjoy :-)
