but will they shine

when you hold them?

Friends, I'm unearthing all kinds of forgotten photos in my archive. I made this one on April 15, 2014 when we lived in Tucson, Arizona in a house that had 5 skylights. They provided lovely indirect light for flower photography.

Lilium Stargazer is a hybrid of the Oriential group.

Oriental lilies are known for their fragrant perfume and

They bloom mid-to late Summer.

Stagrazers are easy to grow and do best in the sunlight. They have a fast growth rate and should be planted in full sun and in well drained loamy or sandy soil.

Beauty is in the eye 😀 of the beholder ...

A stargazer lily reaching for the morning light. Took a break last Friday and visited the St. Paul Conservatory. A beautiful place to photograph flowers. A welcome break from the cold.

I suddenly have dozens of oriental lilies - the fragrance is undescribable!

All my other lilies fell prey to the pretty but evil lily leaf beetle...

This one is coming up again this year. I can't wait for it to bloom!

This Stargazer lily was growing near the Oriental Merostar lily we posted a few shots ago. Must be the right conditions for lilies as they were all spectacular.

It only had 2 flowers this year.
