When I saw these on our walk I truly couldn't believe my eyes! I took pictures but all I had was my phone so I drove back with my good camera later and took more pictures. I have never seen anything like it them. My walking partner has lived here 20 years and she felt the same. It is just so sad that they are probably spent now so our timing was perfect. Would you believe that the people who live in that house have already left for the season and gone north for the summer? They missed this beauty!
@bruni@vernabeth@mittens@ellida Well, I was correct. We walked by again today and they are totally spent. I stroked them a bit and told them how much I had enjoyed them. Their whole life is just one day.
@ludwigsdiana Thank you for your comment and for the fav. To answer your question, I really don't know if they have ever seen it. It is doubtful as they only bloom for one day and all the people I have talked to are astounded by the blooms so they must not be common. So sad they missed it. Maybe I will remember next winter to stop by and give them a picture!
