    I call these the rose garden lillies because they were planted near some roses but there are a lot of things planted in the little area and the poor roses suffer. I can never quite capture the color of these! Kind of a peachy/apricot

    I have no idea what these are but they are lovely!

    Beautiful. I have several of almost the same color, they came in a bag labeled Lilies with no cultivar indentification at all.
    Take the photos on a cloudy day or if they are ever in shade, the paler colors will photograph better then. The sun washes out color instead of enhancing it.

    Very pretty! And it looks like you'll have plenty more very soon.

    Attractive lilies, Cris. Do you have more to show? I like flowers with a peachy tint to them.

    Oh Sjoerd, everybody, flowers, dogs and us were too drained from the +100º to make a flower -lots of drooping yesterday, well --except the weeds, they seem to thrive!

    I did weed and mulch but it was like walking in molasses! We decided that even a short run like a 5K is too great a risk in such heat. I think it was the young 18 year old girl who is still inside of me who thought otherwise LOL

    This morning I see two lilies from the window and the tomatoes are more perky from the late watering. They are the same ones though ;-) there is something new emerging but I have no idea what it is!

    ah, it's already 9am and I should go out now while it's still cool. 82º, but it was 75º when I started writing this post!!!
