Here is a view of the daylilies as they encircle our crape myrtle tree. The smaller looking flowers in the foreground happen to be our white trailing lantana.

Welcome to my little corner of the world where I like to share some of my favorites in nature photography, places I like to visit, my pets, what I like to read, and occasionally my favorite local sports team.

Mostly known as Easter lilies - these are lilium candidum, otherwise correctly known as Madonna Lily. These first two pictures were taken on the 30th of May. I knew it would be a matter of days before they would be in full bloom.
These lilies are all located in my front yard where they get a southerly exposure.
This lily was the first to "pop" open.
Here is another shot of the first to bloom, with our birdbath in the background.
And these Madonna lilies are sitting along the pathway between the sidewalk and the front door. I took this photo on the 4th of June. Quite a difference from the 30th of May.
