aloha from va...and happy saturday
Every bud blossoms, waits, then fades.
Seeing those lilies gives a promise that Spring will soon come. So beautiful and joyous!
I loved watching the bud unfold and then bloom. Lovely sequence. The Anaïs Nin quote is great!
I like the way you have taken us in pictures from the formation of the bud to its seeding Cloudia.
a beautiful progression!
Ah yes, with each new photo another beautiful blossom unfolds... Aloha Cloudia.
Just another perfect example of free nourishment! Beauty for the taking, if we care to see!
It is beautiful to see buds opening.
That's a very colourful bloom, and so unlike anything I see here.
Thanks Dears ♥
Nice to see such wonderful blooms while the snow arrives around here.

Thank you so much for that budding, opening, blooming series of photos. Magic.
nice quotes
The first quote riveted me. Gentleness indeed.
Hope you're having a restful and warm Shabbat. Only good things...
Very special plants.
Greetings,

What a pretty flower. I wouldn't have guessed they looked quite like that inside.
What a pleasure - and honor, really, that you friends stop here to leave your comments. It' really appreciated and fun!
These are fabulous photos, Cloudia!
It's too bad you can't post the fragrance of that blossom!
