This year, more than any other since we have lived here, has proved to be a year of colour in our yard. I've mapped out the various garden spaces and have identified 10 different corners. A bit hard to see here but there really are at least 10 areas - a few corners I've rolled into one.... you might be able to make out the letters on the map and identify them with the list and pictures with the same letter.
Because friends have spoken of their love of lilies and said, "wow" when I mentioned that I had counted 19 different ones in our yard I thought I would gather them here - it will also be important come fall or next spring when I plan to make the needed changes to our 'yardscape' due to the loss of our two giant weeping willows this past year.
So here goes - they range from white to black! well, almost black.
