Friday's Flower - Day Lily

I was given these Day Lilies as a lump of soil and roots and being completely ignorant of what they were I just plonked them in the ground. They have been a fantastic addition to the garden. True to their name, each bloom lasts only a day, but they are very prolific. This particular clump are, as luck would have it,  perfectly placed to catch the light from the setting sun as we are sitting in the garden enjoying these fabulous warm summer evenings.
It's been an incredible two weeks of sunshine and heat. The doors of the church have been open and the warmth is quite wonderful. I feel as though I haven't been properly warm for years!
The skies have been wonderfully blue and today there were the most perfect fluffy white clouds.

 

Long may it continue!
