stargazer lily nestled into the echinops and sheltered by the Artemisia!

I can smell it from here...

Me too .....nice combination Lori....

Thanks, Ladies. I think the pungence of the scent is a real plus....I can smell the waft on the deck, which is about 15 ft. away!

I have to smile everytime I see one of these. They're only around for a monent, but they really make a statement when they are in bloom. Guess that's what makes them so special to me.

Hi Flcrazy! somethings are "just too beautiful to last!" same here, they will always be in any garden I tend.

This is my favorite lily. I've grown them in the past...however, they never, ever looked this good. : > )

Our crazy hot spell just ended with two days of monsoon force rain..and the lilies are toast! poor things. Thanks D1!

Lori:

I'm so sorry to hear about your lilies! : > (

The weather is so crazy this year! I hope it gets back to normal soon!
