Three silly lillies

I had the camera out today and we actually had a few hours of sunshine in Bellingham, prior to a number of cloudbursts. I wandered about the wife's garden and took photos of three different lillies. She has probably a dozen and they all bloom at different times. Here are three that are in bloom right now. The first one is actually mine, as I maintain a small pond. The water lilly bloom is really interesting. It opens on a hot day, closes as it gets to be dusk and if it is a rainy day it does not open at all. But, give it a nice day and it opens wide -- for a few days that is the cycle, then that bloom dies and a new one will come on in a day or two. The other two lillies are quite spectacular.

Thanks for looking.

Ohhhh! I love calla lilies. May I have your permission to snag that image for use in a blog later? It's simply amazing.

Steven, those flowers are BEAUTIFUL! If you'd like some sunshine for them you can take some of ours! It was 109 in Vegas today, the hottest day so far this year....I'll trade you a little bit of the heat (ummmmm, about 20 degrees) for some of your rain....fair trade? :) I'd love to snatch those pictures too, for use here and on my other blog. Let me know if it's ok. And either way....thanks for posting them!

Those photos should be submitted to some kind of photo contest, they're magnificent.

Lovely. What is more beautiful than a flower blossom? Any flower blossom.

The Magnolia is in bloom in Northern Virginia.
