I brought this Stargazer lily in from the flower bed. It smells heavenly and has FIVE blooms on a single stem. They are all wide open and perfect.

I must say, you have some beautiful flowers there and I now know what heavenly smell drew you to the flowers. On Tuesday of this week I was drawn to the back of the semi-shade garden by a heavenly aroma.
I found this:

I knew there were yellow lilies (early) and Easter lilies (now blooming) in that area but I have no idea where this came from.

@Carol Dee, any chance you've been sneaking around in my garden?

So happy it found its way to your garden. (Not me!) But someday I would love to visit your woodland garden. :)

Wait...Carol, isn't Jeni Ann your sister? And you haven't shared any with her? Or bought her some just because she's nice? ;)

Birthday, Christmas, Mothers Day, Ground Hog Day....all sorts of reasons to buy a sister a lily.
Great idea Mary & Lucky! But she already bought me a coral peony for an early BD gift ... so I had best not be greedy;)
