Taken yesterday evening. I wish you could smell them.
Have a blessed Sunday.
* These are Casablanca oriental lilies.

In my mind Ruth, I can smell them and it delights me.
These photos are like a prayer to the coming night, filled with light and fragrance to remind us that the dawn will not fail us.
The pictures make me think of Savannah, Georgia, and Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.
I have these lilies and they smell delightful! I wish mine were still in bloom.
I did not know there were lilies that smelled! They sure are pretty.
Even without smell they are over the top.
Beautiful lilies; a single blossom can perfuma an entire house.
A peaceful and blessed Sunday to you, too, Ruth.
Amazing! Wish the internet had a 'smell' feature! :)
They look like they're glowing in the dark. Very lovely.
I love these lilies.. They are very beautiful. I thought that they only bloom in Spring. So, they are summer bloomers? Very beautiful.

I never thought about it before, but wouldn't Casa Blancas be lovely in a moon garden?
Ruth, I can smell them!! Well, in my mind anyway. Mine are long since gone. I just love the fragrance of these and Stargazers and Golden Stardust and all the other wonderful lilies I have in my garden! I have one lily about to bloom but I have no idea what kind it is. I remember planting the bulbs, but not what kind they were. They are right next to my chicken runout pen and they take quite a beating with us opening and closing the top trap-door...the door hits them everytime. But they are tough and seem to be going to bloom anyway! I hope so!
Have a lily sorta day!
XOXOXOX
Utterly lovely Ruth, simply divine!
You captured their beauty so well! They're gorgeous.
wow!
Like you, I wish I could smell them. They remind me of my wedding bouquet and now that I think of it I can smell them in my imagination/memory.
The dusk lighting makes them look extra ethereal too.
beautiful photo...the fragrance almost leaps out of the computer...
Those are gorgeous! I love lilies, and have some in pots outside. But in the house, they make me sneeze!
Wow...I could just sit and stare at them on the screen and relaaaax!
I've only smelled them in bouquets, Ruth. These look so dreamy!
So beautiful! I saw lilies at Butchart Gardens in Canada, too. There are many more flowers in the north in contrast to hot, humid south TX!
