| LILIES |
On our April 16, 2013 trip to Biltmore, we mostly enjoyed seeing all of the tons of tulips in bloom. However, we took some long walk around the grounds --and we saw more colors which I will share with you today.
Above is a flower I am definitely looking forward to seeing soon, LILIES.... We had lots of lilies planted in our yard, but the deer feasted on about half of them this week. Thank Goodness--on this day in April, we enjoyed seeing some inside the Conservatory at Biltmore. Aren't they pretty?
Hope you enjoy seeing some of the other blooms at Biltmore. Be sure to click on the photos for enlargements.

Biltmore is an incredible place ---no matter which season.. They do a fabulous job with all of their flowers/grounds. It's just a joy to be there. AND--one can get some great exercise since there are plenty of places to walk and enjoy the day!!!
Happy Memorial Day and Weekend. Be sure to take time to pray for and thank all of the men and women in our Armed Services who do so much to keep us safe. We are taking Monday off to celebrate the holiday... SO--I'll see you on Wednesday.
Hugs,
So many gorgeous flower shots! Lovely.
ReplyDeleteI like the picture of you and George the best here. BUT next I love the lilies, I never would have thought pink and orange would look good together, but it DOES! Are you staying home on this holiday weekend? I'm guessing yes. CROWDS!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos on flowers! First time seeing a tulip tree. Have a great time both…
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteBreathtaking photos. Wishing you both a nice, safe weekend.
ReplyDeleteThose colourful flowers and shrubs just bring joy to the heart. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLovely blooms and grounds. The photos of you and George are always sweet.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend ~ FlowerLady
I will have to visit that spot one day. Too bad about your lilies. Have you tried Liquid Fence?
ReplyDeleteI posted a photo at the end of my blog of the hens and chicks you sent me last year.
I love lilies! I have some deep red ones planted here, but they aren't in bloom yet this year.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful flowers! Yes, they do an excellent job keeping the grounds looking great throughout the year.
ReplyDeleteA gardeners paradise where colorful flowers abound year-round.
ReplyDeleteLovely as always Betsy ~:)
What awed me a lot about the temperate trees flowering is the absence of leaves until the blooms start to dehisce. We also have some flowering trees but the green shoots emerge sooner than when we want them to! Your blooms are spectacular and the two of you bloom too! LOL
ReplyDeleteAll of the flowers are so pretty. You can't help but enjoy Biltmore. There's just so much to see!
ReplyDeleteAs you know, I'm always partial to Biltmore, but we've enjoyed a couple of mansions along the Gold Coast here on Long Island that have exquisite gardens as well. Believe it or not, they rival Biltmore. Old Westbury Gardens and Planting Fields Arboretum were just beautiful!
ReplyDeletehave a great and safe week end. love those redbuds and that is the most phlox i have ever seen in one spot.
ReplyDeleteLots of pretty colors, Betsy! The flowers are beautiful. Have a happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteThis is a sweet picture of you and George....I certainly do love lilies, and especially the Stargazer lilies. The fragrance is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI wonder just how many gardeners are employed at Biltmore?
Have a good day.

Those phlox made me a bit wistful. The voles destroyed a very large bed I had established. They do put on such a great spring display.
ReplyDeleteYou are so smart to have an annual pass to that place. Each season is so different and a feast for the eyes.
Beautiful Betsy. I had to open some of those in a new tab so I could enlarge them farther.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear the deer got to your lilies, Betsy.
ReplyDeleteThe blooms pictured here are all so gorgeous, I wouldn't know how to pick a favorite. Such a gorgeous place to visit!
I hope you and George have a nice Memorial Day weekend!
Oh my goodness, but those lilies are gorgeous. I enjoyed all the others, too, but that one really caught my eye. Have a great Memorial Day weekend!
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is wow and wow:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful walk you and George took! Gorgeous pictures -- and love the one of you together!
ReplyDeleteBiltmore is near the top of my bucket list! The photos of the flowers are so pretty and that's a cute pic of you and George!
ReplyDeleteSorry the deer got to so many of your lilies. I have an old-fashioned rose bush that I noticed yesterday had the leaves all stripped off. I'm sure it was the deer. We saw about 6 of the pesky critters in our pasture recently. I need to buy some Deer Fence and hope it works!
Have a wonderful weekend!
These sure are pretty! Enjoy the weekend
ReplyDeleteThe Biltmore looks like my kind of place. All the flowers are gorgeous and the grounds look so well kept.
ReplyDeleteoh my word, these are incredibly gorgeous shots! it's really hard to pick a favourite.
ReplyDeletebiltmore looks such a beautiful place.
happy memorial day and weekend!!

big hugs~
Pretty flowers and you and George look so happy! Have a great weekend, and be safe.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen such a bunch of forsythia before! Wow. And then, there is that great bunch of phlox. What a treat to the eyes.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend.
