Here is a nice close up shot of one of my Lily of the Valley bell flowers. I love this shot as it almost looks like one could reach out and pluck a bell or toll one for their love.
I just wanted to share this here today was all. Any criticism is appreciated as well. Thanks all in advance. Also if you look rally closely at the 3rd bell up from the bottom you can see a raindrop on it as well.

I love thoses Lily of the Valley. They are beautiful flowers. It is amazing, I got a shovel full of these from a place I worked back in 2000. Now I have them in 4 different spots.

Yours looks really healthy. Great picture, thanks for sharing it with us.

So pretty. Have you ever thought of sending in any of your pictures to jigsaw puzzle makers for puzzles? Some of them would make wonderful puzzles.

Nope. I have been told to submit them for sale as
well from members here. but I don't think they are

I love those Grandpa Bob! I had those at a house I lived in and just fell in love with them. I couldn't remember what they were called and everytime I've tried to find them the person working at the gardening center (evern Earl May's) looks at me like I just landed from Mars.

I'll remember that now, actually I wrote it down! Thank you for sharing your green thumb again!!


myLot reputation of 96/100. webeishere (12986)   ranked 1 out of 247 in flowers  4 years ago

Good thinking writing it down. I have to do that as I'd forget in 5 minutes what it was. HAHAHAHA! Thanks also.

Have you ever thought of making post cards from some of your pictures? They would make beautiful postcards..These sure are pretty, you must have a good camera to get shots like these...Lori


myLot reputation of 96/100. webeishere (12986)   ranked 1 out of 247 in flowers  4 years ago

No I take photos and add them here and print some is all. Been told I should sell them etc but I don't feel they
are all that good. It's just a $200 Canon PowerShotA540. Nothing big nor fancy.

I missed this comment the first time around and Bob, I'd have to say these are worth sharing. They are good, clear and the clarity are worth looking into.

I have lots of memories with these little delicate flowers. Along side the house where I grew up we had some growing. I knew when they bloomed that spring/summer was here. Here is a funny story with these flowers. My sister and I would take one of the tiny bells. Put one at the bottom of our nose and we could breath in and make the bell float. We were just little girls, we would see who could make their flower float the longest. Well my sister being a nerd, sniffed a little too hard. The bell went up her nose. My mom couldn't get it out. Instead of blowing she would sniff, eventually all was well. This funny memory always pops in my head when I see the flower.


myLot reputation of 96/100. webeishere (12986)   ranked 1 out of 247 in flowers  4 years ago

It brings memories for me as well. back in 2nd grade for Mother's Day I made mom an artificial bouqet in a vase with a cold colored clover shaped decoration and added Liliy of the Valley to it as I loved the white bells. Eww shooving flowerrs in your noses? Gross. w00t

I didn't do it, my nerdy sister did. I knew how to make my flower bell float. It was my idea though, hehe.

Those are really pretty. I like all types of Lily's. It has nothing to do with the fact that my daughter is named Lily either. I just like them. Very nice picture. Thank you for sharing it with us.

They are so pretty. The last house I lived in I had them coming up in the lawn. I would avoid mowing until the finished blooming so I could enjoy them. I planted some at this house two years ago. They came up but did not bloom and this year they never showed up at all. Have to plant some more this fall.


myLot reputation of 94/100. 1grnthmb (1557)   ranked 177 out of 247 in flowers  4 years ago

I forgot to mention, I posted two picture of my purple calla lily. You can see them on my page.

Oh, those are so beautiful!! I love those flowers. I have a shady place on the east side of my house that would be perfect for them! Do you grow them from seeds or what? I love their scent, too.

When I look at things like this, I wonder how in the world anyone could believe that there's not a Creator up there somewhere. These are too beautiful to be a random accident.


myLot reputation of 96/100. webeishere (12986)   ranked 1 out of 247 in flowers  4 years ago

I got these from a neighbor. 3 of them. They spread
very easily and that's why I have about 15 now.
