Lily season is drawing to a close here. When “Golden Splendour” bloomed several weeks ago, I decided there was no point in taking photos again, because I already have many from previous years. But I couldn’t resist.
On impulse, I bought a bag of unnamed mixed lily bulbs in spring. Here is one of them.
I only wish it were possible to include the fragrance of these lilies in the post!

They’re so lovely. I am glad we can’t smell them, as I´m terribly allergic to the scent of lilies. xo

Ours are still holding back a little. I think they’re waiting to see if there’s going to be another heat-wave. The one’s who flowered early got burned to a crisp.

Fortunately, mine timed it just right and weren’t open when the heat wave came, so they escaped being fried.
