Naked Lily

Acccording to Wikipedia, "Amaryllis (pronounced/ˌæməˈrɪlɨs/is also known as the belladonna lily, the naked lady, or an amarillo. The genus has two species and the more famous of the two, Amaryllis belladonna, is a native of South Africa, particularly the rocky southwest region near the Cape. It should not be confused with Hippeastrum, a flowering bulb commonly sold in the winter months for its ability to bloom indoors."

Our family loves beautiful flowers and the naked lily produces such awesome foliage in the spring and then beautiful flowers in August. God certainly has given a beautiful array of flowers to enjoy at this year.

Dewart Lake Orange Lily

Dewart Lake, Syracuse, IN

Dewart Lake Syracuse Indiana is where we have our summer cottage. It is a nice place to go and relax no matter what the weather is like. In the fall the island looks so pretty as the leaves change colors, but there are animals to watch no matter what the season.

Hemerocallis fulva or Ditch Lily

This orange lily is different from the tiger lily I have at the farm. It has double the petals and I am not sure of the variety. Does anyone know what kind it is?

Thanks Cheryl

Noisy chipmunk

When I was here July 4^th weekend I saw and heard the chipmunks climbing up the neighbors tree. They can be quite loud. Then I saw a beautiful blue bird that came to visit and then the swans. If I would carry my camera around there would be so many pictures I could take.

I love to visit the cottage at Dewart Lake.

I love watching hummingbirds

Lily

 

 

I have at least 3 different varieties of Lily’s growing in my yard. This particular variety I dug up from my mom and dad’s property after mom passed away. I do not know the variety; if anyone could help me out with this information, I would appreciate it.

According to Wikipedia, “Lilium is a genus of herbaceous flowering plants growing from bulbs. Most species are native to the temperate northern hemisphere. They comprise a genus of about 110 species in the lily family (Liliaceae). They are important as large showy flowering garden plants. Additionally, they are important culturally and in literature in much of the world. Some species are sometimes grown or harvested for the edible bulbs. The species in this genus are the true lilies. Many other plants exist with "lily" in the common English name, some of which are quite unrelated to the true lilies.”

Flowers are a gift from God, please take time to enjoy them.
