Cut flowers! I'm a sucker for them!! I can't resist them and I'm a bit partial to lilies. All kinds and colors of lilies dazzle and delight me!

I'll let the flowers speak mostly for themselves. You'll see that they "live with me". Including some from some pervious years when my flowers always cheered George.  Lilies are not the only flowers I favor, but among my most favored!





In various combinations over the years, they've graced my table and brightened my view.

Up close and personal


    They work to please!

They quietly grace the space with their loveliness and improve its quality!

Orange lilies and spider poms

I move older bouquets to secondary locations and keep them trimmed and fed. The roses back there on the other table are still lovely here but have been demoted to "second banana" to a newer bunch. Sometimes they're down to only a blossom and may grace my kitchen window siill in a small vase for the remainder of its life!  Sometimes I "build" a lily in a small vase with only dropped petals.




One of my own breathless buds opening.

What's so amazng as flowers as they're going through their brief life's steps?

Love how the light caught the pink lilies!

Pretty pink in pink ~ ~


              I'm fascinated with light play on any scenario ~

Filtered light. . .

                                                  Breathtaking!








Mingling with things which enrich. . .

Pink lilies and tulips

Some of these bouquets were captured by my camera back six years or so~ ~ ~ ~

My delight

             ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥


So lovely!

Pink lilies and friends

Spring colors - I'm a "spring"!

♥Hope it's fun for you to share these floral memories with me!

How George pictured here would love those lilies I'm enjoying right now..

Life blooms open and lasts a magnificent short while.

        Accent color,

                   Counter-point

                            You arose

                                       To pose

                       A contrast

            In my life!
