You, serve as a beautiful reminder,
that Easter is a time for much rejoicing and celebrating.....

You are also the white-robed apostle of hope.... |
Ever wondered how the whole year around, they lie low, almost inconspicuous, but come Easter (March-April) one can find them springing back to life, when a shaft of Green shoots upwards towards the sky bearing tiny buds, which blossom into trumpet shaped flowers in varied colours of Pure White, Ravishing Red, Mellow Yellow, Delightful Orange n more….

Amaryllis Lily......Hippeastrum |
"Hippeastrum" is Latin for "horseman's star", also known as "knight's star" as buds on the verge of opening look something like a horse's ear, while the blossoms resemble six-pointed stars....

| Orange Day Lilies Daylilies are clump forming perennials with Flowers that are large, ornamental, and orange in color while the Leaves are Long, Grass-like, and green in colour. . A leafless stalk, called a scape, extends above the leaves, bearing the flowers. In most varieties the flowers open one at a time, and last only one day, hence the name…. Day Lilies! |

Some flowers have uniform colors or patterns on all six petals while others have more pronounced colors on the upper petals than on the lower ones.... as can be seen in this flower. PS: I had meant to do this post on Lily around Easter, but nonetheless Hope this Easter was Joyous for you and your near dear ones!

Hi :)
Visiting your virtual garden after a long time. Its my summer recess ! Lovely, lovely lilies.
I believed the Lily was white ... interesting to know there are others esp. Amaryllis Lily. Just beautiful.
Hiiiiii Aditi, Its been long indeed. So good to see you here at blogger n Thx a ton for your appreciative comment. So Glad you found them beautiful. Still miss those Y360 days.
aloha,
these are such beautiful lillies, the colors are truly dazzling, i love the the first one - variegated flowers are my favorites.
i should grow lillies to, i never seem to find some good ones here.
oh Radhika, you have many lily colors! I specifically love that first and last, have also been looking for other colors but haven't got them yet. I only have that Hippeastrum, which you might have seen in my posts in the past. BTW, it seems you are celebrating Easter too, yourself?
Hiiii Andrea, You are right, have been celebrating, the essence of Easter. We have lilies growing in containers and every nook n corner ard the garden as well. They are such persevering flowers.... perfect for gardens, one can overlook them thru the year and yet they never fail to blossom come April. I remember your post on Bulbs! Informative.
Hi Radhika...what a stunning collection! I grow a few of them but the colours on the first shot and the yellows, are absolutely beautiful!
Have a great Sunday!
