I love lilies - the fragrance is out of this world. Beautiful flower pictures.
I'm not so fond of lilies - even lilies as beautiful as yours - but I feel I can smell those gorgeous stocks from here x
Beautiful blooms from a beautiful garden dear Jeanne. I can imagine the fragrance your lilies are putting off clear over here. I love the smell of lilies so.
sending hugs...
MMMM, what magic can happen in a full sun garden!
Pictures can be words!
With photos liuke that who needs words! Thanks for a lovely start to my week.
Dear Jeanne,
thanks for these beautiful flowers on a dull and gray Monday morning! Lovely! I have lots of love-in-a-mist in my garden but they have already faded. I like them very much, they look so bizarre.
Have a nice week!
Liebe Grüße, Bärbel
Hello Jeanne:
If we could only ever have one flower, then it would surely have to be white, scented lilies. Absolute perfection and something which, in our gardening days we grew quite successfully in pots.
Those stocks are just perfect in your pretty blue and white jug. I love the scent of stocks - but find lilies far too sweet and overpowering, much nicer in a photo.

My lilies finished ages ago so it's lovely to see yours. I love the white nigella too, I'm not very successful with them for some reason. Enjoy your week.
What beautiful photos to lift the spirits on this wet and windy morning! I love the scent of stocks:)
Really lovely
Cheers
Helen

Wonderful blooms.
You really have some lovely flowers. Mine are all past their best - the lilies were really early, and did not last long.

Stocks are one of my favourites... their scent is fabulous.
What is the second flower... how pretty it is. Looks like a lovely little ballerina dress.

Jeanne, your lily is a beauty. Which one is it? Enjoyed your bee post and poem too :)
Dear Jeanne,
Your lilies look beautiful! I especially enjoy having the white ones in a vase on our black mantelpiece. Somehow it looks very 1920s/30s!
Your stocks are very pretty too. I can almost smell them over here ;-)!
Have a lovely new week!

Great photos Jeanne. I used to try to grow stocks here and it is just too hot!

The lilies are exquisite Jeanne. Beautiful photographs to start the week
I can't have lillies in the garden as the pollen is poisonous to cats so it is nice to see your photos.

Egads! That one with all the frills and green anemone-like thingies sticking up in the middle... IS THAT A LILY??? I must have one! I must!!
In the meantime, I am stealing that photo to use as my computer wallpaper.
Such beauty Jeanne! Wonderful pictures and I cansmell them all the way to Sweden. :)
Take care my friend and have a lovely week!

Nigella. Must get some.
Dear Jeanne, this could not have been a better post to return to after my absence.;)
I love white lilies, and as you might know, my name is derived from Hebrew, meaning white lily.
Beautiful and stunning details in your photography.;)
Love also your new header.
Hope all is well at your end,
xoxo
The petals look creamy :)
I especially love the one photo of the flowers by the mirror. Lovely!
Wishing you a wonderful time in Italy - see you, Inge
Your flowers are just so lovely...exquisite really. Thank you, so much, Jeanne, for remembering me!
I wonder if I could find space in my garden for Stocks? Just one of the many plants I happen to love. x
PS. I posted your parcel yesterday by snail-mail (2nd class)!
Wonderful! It's a miracle! Once again, the garden blooms and grows. Jeanne, I have to say that I am in heaven, having a garden, this year. Absolute heaven! I'm so pleased!
Anyway, just and hour ago, I bought one more Russian Sage (to balance the others out) and one little pretty daylily that was left on it's own - such a perfect apricot-y pink - beautifully solid to sit with the lavender blooms of the sage that billows over the stones in the wall.
Jeanne, I want you to know that I am working on it - the garden post. My silly first year garden. I think that, at this point, I should prove that it exists and I've finally figured out that it will never ever be perfect!=]
Love, Katy xo
