Lily – 47

“If you have two loaves of bread, sell one and buy a lily”

Chinese Proverb

Scene On The Street – 4

On a recent stroll through the neighborhood we stopped to admire one of the many gardens that line the street. There were a profusion of lilies dancing in the wind. Dancing so violently I was unable to make a picture. Then I spotted this lone flower in a seemingly untended corner. A shaft of sunlight illuminated the flower.

It’s been a bit since my last lily image. Have a great weekend.

Stargazing

I am a big fan of Stargazer lilies and have been ever since a florist friend introduced me to them almost 20 years ago.

“The stargazer lily is a recent hybrid that was first developed in 1978 by Leslie Woodruff, a plant breeder who was completely devoted to his lily projects.” “The flower buds opened towards the sky, so Woodruff named this hybrid “Stargazer.”” (both quotes from http://lilyflowerstore.com/lily-facts/meaning-of-stargazer-lily.html)

My partner likes to scope out potential “photo ops” for me as she travels about the city. Today, she pointed out a group of lilies she had seen late last week. I had to agree with her, the lilies were lovely.
