We have some lilies blooming! The petite yellow Stella d' Oro lily was the first to show off this year with beautiful bright yellow flowers.
I lost a lot of my lilies over the last couple of years. While my mother lived with us, I was busy taking care of her and my flowers were neglected. I have been trying to get some repotted. And empty some pots that have no live plants or flowers in them any more.
I think next year we will be buying more lilies!!
Do you like day lilies? What is your favorite flower?

I miss my gardenia so much! I had one at the first house we lived at after getting married. I should have dug it up and moved it when we built our house in Louisiana, but sadly didn't. Nor, did I go buy another one. Working and 3 little ones kept me busy.

As for my favorite flower, it's hard to choose just one! I appreciate the beauty and uniqueness of different flowers, from the classic elegance of roses to the cheerful brightness of sunflowers. Each flower has its own charm and can evoke different emotions and memories. If I had to pick one, though, I might lean towards sunflowers for their cheerful and sunny disposition.

@kareng Flowers have a magical way of capturing the essence of different moments and memories. Whether it's the romance of roses, the cheerfulness of sunflowers, or the elegance of lilies, each bloom carries its own story and significance.

My daughter brought home a beautiful lily on Easter, and surprisingly it just recently dropped the last of its beautiful flowers.

@moffittjc They are super easy to grow and I know you have day lilies, so you should be all set! Very similar!

My favourite flower is rose and I do love lilies too. I have the light orange ones. They are blooming now.

@kareng You have to purchase the plant along with the flower. I will search for the yellow one.

We both decided to write about lilies. Lilies in our garden have behaved pretty badly. Last year we had none and this year they bloomed late into May
