I like growing plants in pots as I can move them around. We don't grow many lilies, but the ones we manage to nurture are precious. The lily that grew this year also went sky high almost to the roof of our covered yard! Next year I might grow some outside where they'll be just as happy.

It is quite sad how wildlife has no where to go. Seeing deer in the city where my niece lives, which is so desert like. They walk right up to the fence. They are also all over the cemetery in my hometown. We have coyote, racoons and rabbits. They are all quite annoying but those rabbits are the worst. My niece in California rescues house pet rabbits and she dislikes the wild ones because of the disease they carry. But it is what it is. WE have too much building up here.<br />I have missed seeing and chatting with you. We lost our precious great grandboy Alastor Avery Aug 4. It has been so difficult for our entire phamily.<br />I sure love all the pretty lilies and I have many tiger lilies in my front yard. We need to weed out front, the month has been difficult for us.<br />Take care and glad to see you are doing so well.

It is a wonder that the deer did not come up to the deck, though! I knew about Day lilies, because we have them. But I had actually been wondering about what an Easter Lily IS. So it is it's own different thing! Too hard to chose favorites on this post today! But let me try! Montenegro, Pink Lemonade, Muscadet, golden Splendor, and Stargazer. I cheated and chose almost half, ha ha!
