Arun Lily in my garden





Revd Charles Karunaratna gave Yvonne a clump of Arun Lily some 15 years or so ago. Yvonne planted it
near the kitchen door so that she could see the blooms whilst working there. It took a year or three for any bloms to appear - but now - well!
I went into the garden this morning just after 7am to take the attached shots in the early morning sun. I counted some 33 blooms - the photographs only capture just a few of these each time. Last year we had some 60 blooms at one time and I believe we may surpass that number this year. Sadly, they will be gone by the time we have the Children's Society Coffee Morning on Saturday 6th August in the garden.

Note the fly in the fourth shot - on the lily at the left!
