@karenann Hi, Hi, Hi! Sooo great to hear from you, and thanks for the warm welcome, and the super compliment. It feels terrific to get back to it......I'll be checking you out soon. :-D Good New Year to you and yours, Les
(p.s. I am planning on posting my first "selfie"! It's from the "archives", but I have figured out a way to take a decent hand-held "selfie", and I'm going to "go for it"!)

@myautofocuslife Hello there Livia; thanks so much for stopping with an awesome comment. You have a keen eye, my friend. This is indeed, an Oriental Variety called "Stargazer", or, "Lilium Stargazer." It has large, fragrant flowers, and comes in only a few colors. These are the most sought after Lily for bouquets and for weddings. They are also popular as a perennial where they are grown for "show", and for cutting. Glad you like it. :-D Good New Year to you, Les
