I have a lot of lilies blooming right now. They aren’t my favorite flower, but they do look pretty when you get a bunch of them all together.
This one is my mom’s lily.
It’s called blackbird lily.

Lilies make beautiful bouquets. Some of these have really interesting colors and markings. Lovely collage!
Jun 16, 2012 @ 21:15:04
Thanks. I think I like my mom’s more than any other I’ve seen.
Jun 16, 2012 @ 21:23:52
wow! such a range of color – especially the blackbird!
Jun 16, 2012 @ 22:22:53
Yes, of all the lilies I like it the best. I think I might have to try and find one of those for my yard.
Jun 16, 2012 @ 21:33:03
Gorgeous!
Jun 16, 2012 @ 22:23:07
Thanks. They are fun to photograph.
Jun 16, 2012 @ 21:48:08
Beautiful though they are not your favorite.
Jun 16, 2012 @ 22:23:25
They aren’t a favorite, but I can still appreciate them.
Jun 16, 2012 @ 22:39:53
You have quite a variety of lilies. Each one is beautiful. I love the shots with the shadows inside. Very Nice! Your Mom’s Blackbird Lilly is very unique, I have never seen one like it.
Happy Sunday!
Jun 16, 2012 @ 22:48:31
I liked the way the shadows turned out too.
Jun 16, 2012 @ 22:53:39
Teresa, how glorious your lilies are. I have some and one in particular, a pale lemon yellow, has the most amazing fragrance that every time I walk by, I have to stop and stick my nose in
Jun 17, 2012 @ 09:12:01
I haven’t taken the time to stop and smell the lilies. I’ll have to do that on my next trip by. Hope you are doing well.
Jun 16, 2012 @ 22:59:38
Nice photography work!
Jun 17, 2012 @ 09:12:26
Thanks. They are not my favorite flower, but they do provide good photography practice.
Jun 17, 2012 @ 05:51:59
Beautiful……
Jun 17, 2012 @ 09:12:40
Thanks. I’m so glad you stopped by.
Jun 17, 2012 @ 06:47:56
Beautiful photos! I love how graceful lilies are..and the variety of colors and patterns. You did a beautiful job of showcasing yours!
Jun 17, 2012 @ 09:12:59
Thanks for your kind comment.

We have many lilies blooming right now, but for some reason, I haven’t taken any photos of them this year. Loving the blackbird lily. Very unusual!
Thank you for sharing at Your Sunday Best this week! xoxo
Jun 17, 2012 @ 09:13:16
Thanks. As always I enjoy Your Sunday Best.
Jun 17, 2012 @ 07:56:56
Gorgeous…love the blackbird!! I like to look at them…but hate to smell them..their fragrance reminds me of a funeral home!
Jun 17, 2012 @ 09:14:19
I haven’t gotten a whiff of their scent. I’m sure the allergies help in that regard.
Jun 17, 2012 @ 13:18:47
They are beautiful and diverse, how wonderful to have all these growing on your property. It always seems that the goats or sheep escape and eat mine!
Jun 17, 2012 @ 14:11:13
I actually do pretty good at keeping the goats out of the yard. I have enough shrubby mulberry bushes in the front fencerow that they only go for it on the rare occasion they do get in.

Love the mosacis, they showcase the lillies beautifully! I really like the orange one and, of course, your mom’s Blackbird, WOW!!
Jun 17, 2012 @ 16:53:54
Thanks. Like I said, I’m not a big lily fan, but I do love that blackbird too!
Jun 17, 2012 @ 18:45:24
Wow! The blackbird lily is gorgeous! I love the way some of them smell!
Jun 17, 2012 @ 18:53:28
Isn’t that one gorgeous!
Jun 17, 2012 @ 19:09:49
They are all beautiful, but that Blackbird is amazing.
Jun 17, 2012 @ 19:41:05
Isn’t that the most beautiful lily ever!
Jun 17, 2012 @ 20:27:53
Teresa, I can’t see how they wouldn’t be one of your favorites. These are beautiful!
Lovely captures!
Jun 17, 2012 @ 21:07:51
There are just so many that I love, these aren’t on the top half of the list.
Thanks so much.
Jun 17, 2012 @ 20:38:03
Beautiful. The blackbird lily is what I like best.
Jun 17, 2012 @ 21:08:05
Yep! I actually like that one too.
Jun 17, 2012 @ 21:10:37
Mine are blooming too and I love your mom’s lily and the white one too. ^_^

I think I’m going to have to find me one of those blackbird lilies.
Jun 17, 2012 @ 21:24:53
I have to say the ‘Blackbird’ lily is my favourite.
Jun 17, 2012 @ 21:43:11
It is the prettiest lily I’ve ever seen.
Jun 17, 2012 @ 22:45:06
I’ve never seen blackbird lily before, they are so pretty , thanks for sharing.
Jun 18, 2012 @ 08:18:14
I hadn’t seen one before either, and it’s the one I like the best.
Jun 17, 2012 @ 22:56:06
Gorgeous lillies.
Jun 18, 2012 @ 08:18:41
Thanks. They do look nice with all the varieties blooming together.
Jun 17, 2012 @ 23:42:40
Very pretty lilies!
Jun 18, 2012 @ 08:19:18
Thanks. They aren’t my favorite flower, but they do look pretty.
Jun 17, 2012 @ 23:56:50
Gorgeous lilies! Lilies have always been one of my favorites.
Jun 18, 2012 @ 09:01:43
I love lilies for Easter, but otherwise, I can find others I prefer. Luckily nature gives us enough variety to find something for everyone to love.
Jun 18, 2012 @ 08:46:13
That blackbird lily is so pretty! Almost all of our lilies are open now!
Jun 18, 2012 @ 09:00:53
They do bring a lot of color to the garden!
Jun 18, 2012 @ 11:59:22
These are GORGEOUS! My maiden name is Lilly – so Lilies are very special to me
Jun 18, 2012 @ 12:20:55
That would make lilies a great flower for you. Hope you have lots of them blooming around you right now!
Jun 20, 2012 @ 05:14:29
