The magic lilies growing in my yard, that is.
They’re blooming now which means it soon will be fall. The blooms last about a week and a half. Every year, not long after the last fades,
cooler nights set in, followed by cooler days.
I can’t begin to tell you how thrilled I was to see the first flower
stalk! It wasn’t there Tuesday when I
was out in my yard.
They’re actually very cool.
They get amaryllis-type leaves early spring which die completely
off. They give you enough time to forget
they’re there before sending up stalks with a whole bunch of blooms on
each. The blossoms start pale pink and
darken as they age. Just before the end
of their lives they are almost blue.
So not only do they predict the change of seasons but they
sprout flowers overnight that are color shifters. See?
They really are magic!
Happy weekend all!
