LOVE LILIES
These exotic blooms are stunning and so diverse.
I love everything about them except the perfume. Not my cup of tea at all but the flowers are a feast for our eyes and only a few years ago could not be found in the average supermarket.
Here are some of my favourites.
These were growing on our deck.
This arum lily had it’s roots in our pond.
More with the Photoshop treatment.

Hoping you enjoyed these magnificent flowers

ReplyDeletevery beautiful flowers, i love the stunning colors of these lillies!
The lilies are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful collection of lilies. Love the treatment of the third photo.
ReplyDeleteJeanni, thank you for your kind words! I live in Ottawa, Canada's capital city, but way out in the 'burbs, so I can get out into the woods.
ReplyDeleteI love all the colours of lilies you have shown!!!
I just planted my Easter lilies from their pots into the garden - they are still blooming. My other lilies are up through the dirt - they are always so pretty but like you Jean, not my favorite perfume - reminds me always of funeral parlors!!!
ReplyDeleteLovely artwork here - you are so creative with Photoshop - I have yet to figure it all out - instead I stay with my much-loved Photoscape which is free and so friendly!
Come back to Pink Saturday - missing you!
Love ya, miss ya.......wanna come home and see ya!!!! Is the balloon up?

Hi, what gorgeous lilies, I love to paint them. So nice to meet you. Not only can you take whatever you would like about the article in Artful Blogging, but if you would like I can e-mail you a scan of the article. I just sent one to Bev. If you would like me to, can you just stop back and leave a comment with the best e-mail address I should use to send them to you.

Hi JJ, thank you so much for participating again in Today's Flowers. This is a wonderful series of lovely photos and I also enjoyed the one you turned into a painting using photoshop. Very clever.
