Philippine Lilies July 21, 2013

The Philippine Lilies are just beginning to bloom.  So beautiful.  They take many forms throughout the year.  For a short while they disappear completely.  Then a rosette forms with short leaves that look like blades of grass.  Then they shoot up a tall spike with many blooms.  The blooms turn into beautiful seed pods, each one is filled with hundreds of seeds.

I spread the seed all over the place.  I dream one day of having these lilies all over my gardens.  I am well on my way.  It will be a decade or more before it looks the way I dream of it.  But it will happen.
