Denver Botanic Gardens

When a baby comes you can smell two things: the smell of flesh, which smells like chicken soup, and the smell of lilies, the flower of another garden, the spiritual garden. Carlos Santana

Wish you all a lovely weekend

A yellow lily, the colour of sunshine! I enhanced the colour by adding an effect in Topaz Studio for Sliders Sunday. HSS!

Thank you for taking the time to view this image and for leaving me a comment! Have a great day!

Hello there,

I couldn't help but notice this lily which seemed to positively glow from the backlit conditions. To add a bit of contrast, I slightly darkened the background.

Thank you for stopping by and for leaving me a comment! Have a wonderful day!

I got a lovely surprise when the first one opened it was perfumed.

Enjoyed the lilies for about 10 days .

Have a good day/evening

A Bit of Trivia For You

August this year will have 5 Saturdays, 5 Sundays and 5 Mondays.

Only happens every 823 years

I spotted these elegant tiger lilies on a neighbourhood walk. They were growing next to the sidewalk which was a real treat for me. I took the image to Topaz Studio for editing and applied an impressionism filter for Sliders Sunday. HSS!

Thanks a million for stopping by and for leaving me a comment! Have a great day!

I hope everyone has had a fun and safe Halloween this year!

This little sweetheart is Lily! She is posing beautifully, but looking up at her mom for security. The connection between them was so nice to see. It was a great event, and cant wait to start planning for next year!

Lily legends - many stories, myths and legends have been composed about these beautiful flowers. Since ancient times, people have worshiped the lily as one of the most beautiful creatures on earth. Even the wish for well-being sounded like this: "May your path be strewn with roses and lilies." A symbol of hope in Ancient Greece, peace and purity in Rus', and in France these flowers meant mercy, compassion and justice.

The rose is rightfully called the queen of the flower world, since ancient times it has become an object of reverence and admiration.

The flower was already known in ancient Egypt. During the meeting of Cleopatra and the commander Mark Antony, the floors of the hall in her palace were covered with a layer of rose petals almost half a meter thick. In ancient Greece, this flower was considered a gift from the gods. And it was the rose petals that enveloped the beautiful Aphrodite emerging from the sea. The Olympian gods, being in admiration, sprinkled their nectar on the flower, and since then the rose has received its pleasant smell.

This photo was taken at the rose garden in Point Defiance Park, located in Tacoma, Washington. The garden is mostly roses, but surrounding the center pavilion are these beautiful lilies. I always have to take a few pics anytime they're in bloom! Hope you enjoy!

Lily

Seen at Bunnings.

A rather pretty lily that I spotted on a neighbourhood walk. There were lots of buds so the show would've lasted for quite some time.

Thank you so much for taking the time to view this image and for leaving me a comment! Have a great day!

'Lily on a White Background' is a macro photograph of a Lily on a light box.

No Lily of the Valley, this time, but Lilium 'Muscadet'. Like I said before, they were in full bloom when we visited Bodnant Garden. Here I like the contrast with the dark leaves in the background.

A couple of buds getting ready to open up.

Have a lovely Sunday.

NSW fires 476 homes have been destroyed in the latest count, as firefighters today set about tackling 56 fires, 27 of which are not contained.

Lily flower and buds bought at the market.

Have a wonderful day

Dedicated to my dear friend, Bo :-))
