Lily

I had a call from the neighbour today, to ask if I could pop over to her mother's place and photograph her lily. The lily belongs to a 92 year old, and she is most proud of it! Such a lovely colour, but it was hard to fit all the flowers in one image, so here are a few of them. It smelt gorgeous, but would have been overpowering if taken inside.
A beautiful shot, Diane....they can be overpowering inside. How lovely for this 92 year old lady,

What a great display... they would smell nice but are very strong inside .. and those little red bits can cause a bit of a problem as well..

These lilies are a lovely colour - your neighbour is right to be proud of them.

Stunningly beautiful photo. Your neighbour is quite a gardener.

@julzmaioro remove the red stamens as soon as the flower opens with a tissue or vacuum cleaner. Otherwise the powder does stain what ever it falls on.

@365projectorgjenfurj Great advice - my luckā€¦..the whole flower would disappear up the vacuum cleaner tube!

These are beautiful. I have a tall vase on the window shelf halfway up the stairs and I usually have lilies in it but I have never had ones this brilliant a colour. As you say the smell is great but can be overpowering unless in a large space
