Never enough of Simplicity










I made more pictures of my blooming Lily flower 2 days ago and I want to share it with you.

I love this flower, I love its innocent white color and the gorgeous shapes they have, it's inviting for photographic creations.

I know also that everybody now is involved deep in their preparations for Christmas and that's why I want to challenge the mind with these flowers to something else, something very different and something beautiful.

ENJOY!

growin' tips...
Lilium (Lily)


Plant bulbs in full sun and well-drained soil. Mulch or plant to keep roots shaded and cool. Fertilize Lilies after shoots begin to emerge. Use any organic fertilize follow the directions on the container. Stake tall varieties. Remove spent flowers but leave entire stem standing until it turns brown in fall. If you cut blooms for arrangements, take no more than one third of the stem; cutting more will reduce the ability of the plant to store energy for next year's blooms.


To grow Lilies in containers, choose a 12"+ in diameter. Add a 2-3" layer of potting mix to the pot, set the bulbs in place, cover with mix, and water thoroughly. The tops of the bulbs should be planted at least 4" deep. A 12" pot will hold 3 bulbs.
Note, Lilies, especially those grown in the ground, often take another year after planting to achieve their full height.

Perennials
The first year they sleep;
the second year they creep;
the third year they leap.

White Lilies



"Love is the flower you've got to let grow."
John Lennon



These are some photographic impressions of a white Lily flower. White Lilies are often also in wedding flower bouquets. They are a symbol for
innocence, purity - and LOVE!
