My Easter Lilly

Easter Lilly blooming in my Garden.

Despite Easter being so late this year... my Lilly did not bloom until after Easter.

But isn't the bloom perfect?

And I love the way the blooms escape my little fence, looking for more sun!

It lives inside my little garden in a corner.

I know an Easter Lilly isn't exciting for most of you gardeners.

In another month this section of my garden will look overgrown if I'm not careful!

But I am always so delighted to see my Easter Lilly bloom.  

It was a potted plant my daughter brought me on a Easter Day several years ago.  I planted it in a corner and waited for it to die, so I could throw it away. (I hate to get rid of any plants that are alive)  But, next year it grew and bloomed and thrived!!  To my happy amazement. 

My daughter insists that I have a green thumb.  Which isn't true.  It was luck that I happened to stick it in  the ground in just the place it wanted to be.

Easter Lilly

My Easter Lilly is blooming in the middle of May!!

Is that odd?

I hate to willingly be the cause of  the demise of any living thing!  So  three years ago after  the Easter Lilly (gift from my Daughter)   quit blooming,  I dug a hole in the back corner of my garden. Behind everything.  So it wouldn't get in my way.  And plopped the plant in it.  I never expected it to live, much less bloom again.  But every year it does bloom,  back in that corner, almost hidden.

  It's beautiful and smells so nice.
