Freedom's Glow Lily

(This picture can be enlarged by clicking on it.  Clicking a second time will make it full-sized.)

Betsy and I are fortunate to have flowers blooming almost continuously from Spring through Autumn.  While roses are our very favorites, we also enjoy some beautiful lilies this time of the year.  This beauty is called Freedom's Glow.  I love the color.

Early Morning Beauty

(This picture can be enlarged by clicking on it.  Clicking a second time will make it full-sized.)

I remember hearing a song ‘O How I Hate to Get Up in the Morning’ as a child.  That song has been on my mind a great deal since Betsy and I have started taking early morning walks around the golf course behind our house.  (We have to get an early start so we finish before the golfers arrive!).  But although I may hate getting up, there are some definite rewards that make it all worthwhile.  This is one of those rewards.  Taken April 30, 2016.

Floor Show Iris

(This picture can be enlarged by clicking on it.  Clicking a second time will make it full-sized.)

Betsy and I have been pleased with the display that our irises are putting on this Spring.  I think we’ve had more blossoms this year than we’ve ever had.  We’ve had about 20 different varieties in bloom so far.  This beauty is called Floor Show.  It, like most of our other irises, is a rebloomer, so we hope to enjoy another display in the autumn.
