Although this week's post isn't all lily photos, they constitute the majority. But there are plenty of others, including the intriguing Illicium floridanum. Okay, here are the photos.
Lily Baeferrari. Huge and generously spotted.
Lily Mister Cas. One of the 'senior citizens' in my garden and one of my faves.
Lily lancifolium. One of the tiger lilies, this one native to China and Japan.
Lily Dizzy. Does kind of make you swoon over their beauty.
Lily Fata Morgana. Love the spots and that it's a semi-double.
Lily Pizzazz. Well named!
Lily Cream Luminaries.
My new fave - Lily Salmon Star. This shot in the shade doesn't show off its fantastic colors.
Lily Golden Splendor.
This mystery lily was somehow included in a lily order. Bonus!
Lily Cream Luminaries + a mystery trumpet lily.
Lily Hotel California. This Asiatic lily has been a profuse bloomer this year.
One of the stars of this lily season is the new Lily Lotus Pure. Fabulous!

Tecoma x smithii. It has climbed up a street tree and is now blooming at its crown.

Bronze fennel flowers. Popular with bees and wasps.
Lily Golden Joy.
Eriogonum grande rubescens flowers. Great nutrition for pollinators + birds love the eventual seeds.
Gomphrena decumbens. Always in bloom.
Here's the aforementioned Illicium floridanum. The flower reminds me of that of a Calycanthus occidentalis.

My porcelain berry vine is filling up with small white flowers, much favored by bees.
