More Lilies

My mother grew pink lilies. She called them amaryllis, but they are Lycoris squamigera also called pink ladies or naked ladies. I got some bulbs when I managed the storage and enjoyed seeing them bloom every summer. Left them behind when we moved away. Last year found bulbs at a wonderful place near Alpine and waited a year to see them bloom. I'm a happy camper.



These are the red and white lilies. It was a surprise that this year there was a yellow lily blooming with them.

Thanks Linda. Lately I haven't been taking a lot of photos so am happy the lilies are blooming in my front yard.
