I just HAD to share this last picture --since, as an amateur photographer,  sometime the light is just perfect to get a really good shot... This LILY is gorgeous ---and I really liked this picture...

I tried to give you a variety of different colors and shapes... Do you have a favorite today?

WELL---I'm sure there will be more Lily and Day Lily picture to come since we have so many.. AND---if I leave one of them out,  he or she may CRY....  I wouldn't want that to happen.... ha ha

Hope you have a great week --and HOPE you enjoy more of the flowers in our yard today.

Hugs,

    All of them are just beautiful. I think my favorite would be a toss up between Dancing Shiva and Rosella's dream

    As I scrolled through, I realized I just couldn't pick a favorite out of all these beauties. Your last photo is especially beautiful.

    Beautiful! I can't pick a favourite,as you well know. I love them all.
    On a side note, whisper a prayer for my sister,Becky,and me today. I'm taking her to Winnipeg for reconstructive foot surgery. She will not be able to weight bear on that foot for two months after the surgery so I will be her feet and legs.

    I couldn't pick a favorite if I had to, but your last photo of African Queen is absolutely gorgeous.

    I'm always amazed at the variety of lilies that you have at your home. You ask me to pick a favorite? It's not polite to have favorites, is it?? They're all perfect!

    Great series of lilies and each exhibits a beauty of their own! Liked your attitude to take time to capture each flower and share the joy of blossom with us.
    Love the photos

    Rosella's Dream Lilly is my favorite of today's choices. I can only imagine how absolutely stunning your yard must be Betsy. Thank you for sharing these beauties with us.
    Blessings, Betsy

    Betsy, Your garden with all of its stunning flowers is stunning...and a little mind-boggling for a non gardener like me. With all of your trips and explorations for you and George, I can't imagine how you maintain this year long beauty! Take Care, Big Daddy Dave

    Wild Horse had an interesting and different look. When you show us how many varieties there are, I realize there is more to life than my patch of ditch lilies. Mine are ordinary but I love the ease of care. Someday I will venture out like you have--a little bit anyway.

    Hi Betsy! Well, it's Pure & Simple that your beautiful background is Frankly Scarlet! A Little Heavenly Angel must be guarding this beautiful post! So your beautiful lilies have given me a Double Eventful Day! Do you get my drift? We are having a heat wave, so some Orange Crush would be so good right now!

    Oh Betsy, such a yard full of beautiful color. Of course I have to pick Wild Horses for my fav although I do like them all. Our lilies are just starting--no color yet.

    Gosh you have beautiful Lillies. How do you keep them coming back year after year? Mine stopped after two years.
    I was responding to your comment by email and after I typed everything and hit send - I see it is - a no reply comment @ blogger.com.
    Stay cool and tomorrow we may get rain and it will last for about two days it seems. Oh well, more grass to mow AGAIN.
    Happy Week Ahead To Ya,
    Betsy

    I could never choose a favorite of these...would be easier to choose the least favorite....I think. Not even sure I have one of them.

    Beautiful! My favourite is the African Queen lily, but each one is special in its own way. Your yard must be a picture with so many lilies in flower.

    Your day lilies are just so amazing, Betsy. I'm always so surprised at the variety you have. My cousin just brought over some for mom and she loved them.

    Dear Betsy, all beautiful, but my favorite was "lIttle heavenly angel"! Not sure why, just the color combination and the purity of it. Thank you for sharing this beauty. Peace.
