Spider Lilies

Post by oldcoot »

Not considered true Lilies so OC thought he would post them on this forum. Yesterday was a BEAUTIFUL fall day here is SC. Bright sunshine not too hot and OC GOT OUTSIDE with Joy keeping him in tow. No h wasn't walking, but in his "hover round." A friend visiting him yesterday told him about them in bloom,and nothing would do after they left there was nothing to go out and take some pictures. HOORAY. outside in the sun...............OC

Beautiful lilies!!! I'd love to have that color too. I have the old fashioned pink ones that my grandma called 'surprise lilies'. They aren't blooming this year tho.

Beautiful OC!!! I love those!

Unfortunately, Lucy, those of us here in zone 5 have to settle for our pink ones, as the other ones aren't hardy here :( But we can enjoy OC's pretty pictures of his! :D
