It's Lily Time

BY SKEETER

It is June which is the month for Lily to shine in my GEORGIA GARDENS.

 I use to keep all the lily together in one garden area but after a couple of years, they would become too large for anything else to be seen. 

I started to dig them out and move them around a bit.

The lily did not mind being moved. In fact, they thrived and became much larger each year.

 They have become so large that I am dividing the lily to make more plants.

 I add new ones to my collection as I find them on the bargain bins.

 Lily are so easy to grow in my gardens. They do not seem to mind the drought times or the soggy times of year.

 I do not know the names of my lily.

But knowing their names is not important to me.

 I enjoy their beauty and that is all that matters to me.

 I wish lily would bloom all summer long.

 But they do not and that is a bit depressing.

 Once the blooms are gone, the foliage adds interest to the gardens.

 I would have to say they are my favorite flower during the month of June.

 Look at the pollen on the Easter Lily.

 The fancy ones such as this one above do not seem to grow as quickly as the other lily but I am able to divide some of them now as well.

I have Lily in just about every one of my garden areas and I cannot get enough of them. I just love this time of year as
