Lilies and Raindrops

[AlanLichty]

Day Lilies are starting their bloom and offering up some nice garden color:

And some rain finally came our way after many weeks of dry weather. A few drops gathered on some Lily of the Valley leaves:

C&C always welcome.

Your yard must be beautiful, Alan. Thank your wife for me.

My mother had Lilies of the Valley in our yard when I was a kid. I loved the fragrance.

I think those lilies might be Tiger lilies, Alan.

 

[Darcy Grizzle]

I agree with Douglas, your yard must just be gorgeous!

Thanks Doug - Our house is a bit different in that there are very few views of the backyard from inside and no door leads out to the back besides a second floor slider in the master bedroom. You have to go out a side door of the garage to get back to the garden and see the blooms.

Nancy insists that this is a day lily as the bloom always points upwards while Tiger lilies point down. The spots on the petals are quite minimal compared to Tiger Lilies. We do have Tiger lilies growing in the Cascade forests.

I agree with Douglas, your yard must just be gorgeous!

Thanks Darcy!

Nice colors for the lilies. Quite an assortment of flowers in your yard. You should post a top down view of your garden.

We had some rain as well and it was very welcome.

Thanks Jameel - the view from above is mostly going to be mostly the branches of two 70 foot cedars that shade the garden area and keep the afternoon sun off of our house.

Here is a view from an iPhone shot a couple of weeks ago:

Lovely Alan, I especially like the rain drops image - proof an image does not have to be expansive or complex to be beautiful.

Thanks Mike - I am a sucker for beaded up raindrops like that
