Young and Green Lily
This is another kind of lily in a very early stage of growing, and it is a perennial. The long leafy stalk houses many flowers at the top. Last year, when the warm weather was steady, the flowers all bloomed at one, and it was spectacular.
This year, the flower bloomed one by one since we had colder weather, and I caught it in this light green color. I didn't notice before, but it was different and pretty this time around.
This is the actual color when the flower is mature. There is nothing better than go out after the rain, and get some shots in. Everything is fresh and beautiful.
Have a great week!

ReplyDeleteIt looks wonderful, even in the tiny green stages. I love lilies, but can never grow them successfully.
ReplyDeleteI used to have a lot of these lilies but they have died out on me. I have one orange one left.
