A Star Is Born

Here's another contestant for the Aunt Julie Lily of the Century Award. It's called a Stargazer Lily, and Auntie J. loves this flower for both its beauty and its scent. I think we should award Aunt Julie a prize for photography, too, don't you?


I have to say, Aunt Julie has the patience of a saint when it comes to using her Green Thumb! I just spent all day separating and transplanting day lilies--gardening defnitely is a Labor of Love!

Gorgeous! I want some of those.

I had no idea we were neighbors! Glad you stopped over! Also glad Brett didn't come to the Vikings. We really didn't need the chaos over here. ;-)

OK I was just told by Mac that it's a labor of lunacy and he didn't realize there were so many of us...little did he know!

Oh, I had that lily around my wedding bouquet. All around the edges and then dark pink roses in the center. YOu just reminded me.
