Just another couple close-ups of the Oriental Lily
WOW ~ These are some beautiful shots!!
I love getting a couple different views of each flower.
Oriental Lilies
I love these lilies. The only thing about them is that they don't bloom all summer long. They bloom and then shortly after that they die out and are done til next year. They are very fragrant........
Another Neat DayLily
This DayLily is in bloom now and it is definitely a pretty one. It is bright one in color, but not one of my favorites.

Another Lily
We had our fence put in during Fall. Well, the folks that put our fence in threw all this dirt on top of my Clematis and also on some of my Lilies. I could have screamed...... well, I thought that these lilies were gonners and up pops one and it opened this morning. I guess that extra dirt didn't hurt them one bit. I love the light yellow and pink together!! Definitely another pretty one.

Oriental Lily
"Farolito" - These lilies are very fragrant, have large flowers and bloom later than most other lilies. I just love this bright pink lily!!
Pesky Rabbit
I love everything about nature, but when it comes to rabbits eating my flowers...... it drives me crazy. My son is always looking for the rabbit in the backyard.
My Clematis
This was a Clematis that I planted last year. It had flowers that were larger then my hands.
