This morning as ususal the wife and I walked outside eyeballing our gradens flowers and fruits. We didn't notice this Lily as it was just a bud not opened. We then went back in having a cup of coffee. 15 minutes later I took this photo. It opened up fully in that short of time. This is NOT an Asiatic Lily. This I believe is from the Star Lily family. As you can tell the petals form a type of star looking formation hence the Star name. I love the brilliance of this reddish orange color.

It's so lovely color...You was just little unlucky,I mean can you imagine drink your coffee next to the flower and at 15 minutes see it open up slowly until be from a bud to a full open flower?
Anyway is so nice to let us fell a part of your garden ....

This is what it looked like about 1 a.m. as I went out
taking photos of the Moon and Venus so close together.

Thank you. Speaking of vegetables, I started a discussion
about my "green" peppers growing. Found out it's actually
an elongated yellow pepper of some sort. Hahaha!! Going to
take a new photo and add it to that discussion after it
stops raining today too.

Beautiful, webeishere! Lilies (of all types) are among my favorite flowers. I have Stella d'Oro daylilies in a few places on my property but I don't currently have the type of lilies that are in your picture. They are on my wish list for sure because they're just so stunning! Thanks--I enjoyed your photo! :) Have a lovely day!

The flower is indeed very beautiful Grandpa Bob and color is so vivid and you also captured it well in your camera. Kudos for having a beautiful garden and see those you have planted and nurtured by your own hand bloom and come to life!

One thing I can say with lilies is they bloom in the blink of an eye. LOL My nacked ladies bloomed in a matter of hours this spring.
I do not have room for any lilies unless I take out some of the other bushes and plants I have. It sounds like a lot of work in this california heat. LOL

Not really at all. Lilies love heat sun and humidity. Look at this picture. You can see the red mulch added. It helps to retain the moisture in the soil. So a couple inches of mulch and water is all thats needed to survive in California.

That is so beautiful! And how amazing that it opened that much in so few minutes. It is definitely a very bright shade of red. I love it. You know....I am going to have to start taking pictures of my roses and posting them. I wanna show off like you (and at least I'm good at taking care of roses. LOL)!

OH wow! That flower is beautiful! I can't believe it opened up that quickly! I have to go out side now and take a walk around my yard and check out my flowers.

wow I love the picture you posted in response to Shemah's post. There are so many buds on it you're going to get a real riot of colour. Congratulations on another great addition to your garden. Flowers are such brilliant surprises!

wow! that's a really pretty lily! Sometimes, during the weather here in malaysia, you can't even get a decent flower blooming in the garden. It's terribly humid one minute and the next thing you know, there's a thunderstorm brewing. So most of the flowers in my mom's garden aren't blooming.. Anyways, thanks for sharing your garden with us!

Well here in Minnesota USA we do get the humid days also.
But plants thrive on it here as long as they get enough
water. Here's another shot of the same Lily. I love my
Lilies. Hahahaha!! Thanks for responding also.
