You have several of the same lilies I do, beautiful photos. I was out taking lily pictures last evening, they are so pretty.
Thanks Iowa Gardening Woman - don't you just love lilies?? They are such a bright spot in the gardens right now.
That yellow/green lily looks radioactive. It's pretty cool and my favorite in your collection.
Hi mrbrownthumb - you're right, that lily does look radioactive! Thanks for visiting the blog - stop back anytime!
