My Birthday Lillies have Opened by ladymagpie

My Birthday Lillies have Opened

The other day I capture the beautiful Lillies that was given to me as a belated present by a good friend. Well late last night I noticed how different they look now they have opened.

You will notice that part of the stamens have been removed as I was warned that they can stain anything near them. So each morning I undertake the task of removing them before they drop the pollen everywhere. I feel like a doctor operating on them with kitchen tissue both wrapped around the bit to be removed, and also my fingers. Scalpel nurse, mop my brow please
The lilies opened up beautifully.
