For the past couple of months, I've been monitoring the buds on the Stargazer Lilies in our back yard. It's rather like watching a pregnancy unfold (only without the stupid baby showers) - noting each minor change, the anticipation, guessing the birth date. Sunday morning, we were rewarded with a litter! More are blooming every day, and the fragrance is heavenly. Here's a slideshow of the pregnancy and birth:

Prize winners! Both the lilies and the slide show.
Absolutely gorgeous! I just got some of these for our 50th anniversary. Take a look at my blog and see July 7th entry for a picture.
PS I missed you at BTT today.
I can smell those up in Canada! I wish I looked like that.
Hey, is that one of those make your own cobblestones out of cement mix paths? I have the rubber form to do that and have never got around to it - was it easy? Do you like it?

Thanks, Linda and Sally!
Sally, I've been too busy this week to do BTT - hopefully next week.
tiffin - (you wish you looked like the lilies?? that's funny!) I love the look of the cobblestones, but they're hard for me to walk on w/my bad balance! We need to fill in the gaps. I'll ask Laurie how it was done - it happened way before I moved in.
Yes re the lilies: all pink and blushing and freckled and beautiful. Face all open to the sun and giving off a beautiful fragrance.
Stargazer lilies are beautiful, one of my favorite flowers. Yours are lovely.
Beautiful! It was great seeing them in person (and you too, in all YOUR glory!)
