Conversation With A Tiger






Click on any photo to enlarge.

"O Tiger-lily,' said Alice,
addressing herself to one that was waving gracefully about in the wind,
'I wish you could talk!'

'We can talk,' said the Tiger-lily: 'when there's anybody worth talking to”

Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

My Tiger lilies are in bloom!

They are indeed beautiful! I saw tiger lily wildflowers on Thursday but none of my pictures of them turned out well enough to do them justice. These are... fantastic!

Wow! Tiger lilies don't just bloom, they bloom in your face.

They are very beautiful.
For some reason I don't see them much here in the gardens. It must be difficult to care for, maybe.
Yours are gorgeous.

Very beautiful tiger lilies or leopard lilies!
We distinguish tiger lily from little tiger lily. Tiger lilis have propagulum, little tiger lilies do not have propagulum.Have a nice weekend.
