Stunning Stargazer "Stars"
One morning this week when I awoke, I looked out our bedroom window which faces the backyard.
There's small round flower garden, planted around a young apple tree.
Much to my delight, I saw two great big stargazer lilies. They were cream colored with pink edges.
This was a most thrilling discovery.
Hubs planted bulbs I found at Big Lots.
Now stargazers are my Number One favorite lily.
Their fragrance is most enchanting.
As soon as I could, I ran downstairs, grabbed the scissors, ran outside and snipped two full fledged lilies and one budding one.
I placed the precious flowers in a blue bottle that once held wine.
Do you know that when I woke up yesterday morning, I could smell the fragrant aroma of the lilies all the way up on the second floor of this house?
What a way to start the day with a smile.
One, two, three, inhale! Ahhhhhh.....
Today we are joining Home and Garden Thursday on Kathy's blog, A Delightsome Life.

I like Stargazer lilies too, and have not met an Oriental or Asian lily I did not like. I grow quite a few, and my blog photo is me and a Tom Pouce lily.
Love stargazer lilies..I even have a Yankee Candle with that particular smell...divine! Yours are so pretty!
I love lilies but I am not too familiar with them - but I do know they smell wonderful and I really think the peachy colored one is beautiful in the blue vase. Sandie
Lovely. And I like them in that blue bottle! The heat here has made our flowers a little weak looking, but cooler is coming and they might bounce back.
My Boston friend loves Star Gazers and has a yard full of them, too. Yours are gorgeous.
Oh, I love Stargazer Lilies! I have wanted to find some to plant here, but just haven't done that shopping.
They are lovely and but I don't think I've ever smelled them.
hugs,
