Lily White by olivetreeann

Lily White

When I was at the church yesterday, one of the staff noticed me taking a shot of this lily on my way out the door. "It needs a home; why don't you take it?" she said. So now I have another plant to spray so that it won't become deer candy!
Stunning

I always feel sorry for my pastor at Easter. She is horribly allergic to Easter Lilys.

I love floral close ups and this is one of the best. Great job Ann

April 13th, 2013  
@summerfield Thanks Vikki! I played around with several exposures. I think this one is slightly (very slightly) over-exposed.
April 13th, 2013  
Deer candy! Lol! I hope the deer leave this beauty alone. Gorgeous close-up!
April 14th, 2013  
@deniseinindy Thanks Denise! Yes, any lily is considered a sweet treat by the deer around here! I use a product called Deer Out which you spray on the plants. It gives them a minty smell which the deer apparently do not like which in turn keeps them from nibbling on your greenery. So once this baby is planted, I will have another plant to spray- but it will be worth it!
