But Who Will Watch My Lilies

But who will watch my lilies
when their blossoms open white?
By day the sun shall be sentry
and the moon and the stars by night.
...Bayard Taylor

These fortnight lilies are blooming in our front yard.

Fortnight lilies is a new name for me. I've only known them as African iris or dietes. They're beautiful, mine grow in my backyard.

I've never seen these before -- and I must say the your photo is many times better than the one on wikipedia!

Beautiful shot of these Dietes. They are known here as indigenous iris and are plentiful in my garden. I never heard of them as fortnight lilies, but it makes sense. They all bloom at the same time for awhile and suddenly are gone.
