    Here's that turd-floater I mentioned in another post. It rained almost an inch in about 40 minutes. Flooded my flower beds. The thunder claps were really loud too!

    Those mysterious lilies - I think somebody in here suggested, they were "stargazers". Am I right? Anyway, here are two different lily plants blooming:

    This one is sort of purple & has a bee in it!

    This one is pink

    Lots of rain for you, nice! :D Not Stargazer, somebody suggested Crinum, Cape Coast Lily. One striped variety is called Milk-and-Wine. There are lots of pink cultivars too.

    Pretty lilies and I'm sure they loved the rain.
