Snapshot Saturday, July 26

This week I wanted to show you the giant stargazer lilies I have in my yard. Everyone else I know has stargazer lilies that are waist high with a few flowers on the stem. Not mine. They are taller than a person with twelve or so flowers per stem. (The bush behind her head is a climbing rose, the lilies are the pink flowers next to her head. The tallest stem hasn't bloomed out yet.)

My daughter standing next to our goliath-sized lily. The cat was NOT happy to be in the photo.

    Wow, they would make a wonderful floral arrangement - if you can stand the strong fragrance in your home :-)

    I do love the expression on the cat's face. It's a nice photo of your daughter. We would call those tiger lilies, stargazer is a nice name too though- yours are extremely tall.

    Wow! So impressive...and I am envious of anyone who can grow flowers. LOL

    Thanks for sharing...and for visiting my blog.

    What amazing flowers. I have some lilies, but they are only about kneehigh.

    I saw someone else had tall lilies in the neighborhood too, maybe there's something in the soil?

      Really? In our neighborhood? Maybe you are on to something about our soil.
