Flowers From Our Yard: Treffer Lily



(This picture can be enlarged by clicking on it.)

We've enjoyed Treffer Lily in our yard for several years, and I always knew it had a vibrant orange color. But I didn't realize exactly how vibrant it really was until I captured this photo of Treffer as the early morning sun hit it.

It's a gorgeous shade of orange. I really like orange in gardens.

so happy you did not miss all the blooming lilies and some of them waited to bloom after your trip

Good shot, George! I LOVE the Big Orange color of this lily.

Goodness, I bet you could see this from blocks away!! I just asked Betsy how many lilies you have all together. If you missed a lot on your trip, and still have at least 14 in bloom, you must have scads!

I had this kind of lily and it's very pretty at first I thought it's red but it was not of course when my other lily blooms and the color is red. Yes they are vibrant and beautiful and they thrive too. ^_^

Spending the entire summer so far from Connecticut, it seems to me everything is exotic. Your image is a beautiful treat. Thank you.

I'm still thinking about Fall and cooler weather - this lily would make a stunning centerpiece for a Thanksgiving table. Gorgeous color!

Beautiful, my neighbour has a garden full of lovely bright coloured flowers. Every time I pass it, it gives me an uplifting feeling.
