Macro Mellow Yellows June 9-10, 2013

I am fascinated by the Butterfly Weed.
The blooms make me think of tiny ballerinas twirling around with their arms up over their heads.

Someone gave my Mother-in-law this 'Easter Lily' several years ago.
It is probably a Lillium longiflorum that was forced to bloom in the Spring.
Outside in the flower bed now, it blooms at the beginning of Summer.

Happy Monday!

  2. I like the butterfly weed showing the water droplets and the busy ant. Just looking at the Easter lily makes me think of the fragrance.

  5. I've never had any luck growing butterfly weed. It's beautiful.

    I don't have this kind of lily any more. Don't know why it kicked the bucket.

  9. I like the bright colors of the Butterfly Weed, and I'm sure the butterflies will love it too. I love lilies but the Easter lily has never survived for me, and now I'm trying my luck with the Regal Lilies and the Casa Blanca and have a few blooms this year. Happy gardening!
