Wednesday Wandering -- The Lilies

This week I'll just show the Oriental, Orienpet (Tree Lilies) and Daylilies in bloom. Oh, the colors and the fragrance!  I do have lots of other flowers in bloom and garden produce but this week is all about the lilies. 

(Sorry if the photos seem blurry or dark. I still have not had cataract surgery and can barely see with my right eye which is the one I usually use to look through the camera's view finder. Lately I've been using my left eye. )

And so it grows...

 

Wednesday Wandering: Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head

There have been a lot of misty moisty mornings (and afternoons and evenings) around here lately. And it is so humid I feel like a raincloud is hanging over my head while I'm sitting at the sewing machine. Everything feels wet. It's been too wet to work out in the gardens this week but I have managed to go out in between raindrops to take a few photos of the lilies in bloom. I have lilies of all sorts - daylilies, asiatic lilies and oriental lilies and new this year I have orienpet (or tree) lilies that are a cross  between oriental and trumpet lilies.  The rain is supposed to stop tomorrow and it is supposed to get a little cooler so gardening will resume after that.  The gardening will probably consist of lots of weed pulling. And to think I was all caught up on my weeding before these rains. But we needed the rain. We were in a drought but I think we are out of it now. The Iowa cornfields are now knee high and it's almost the Fourth of July. And that's a good thing!

So without further ado...the lilies in bloom in my garden this week...
