First Impressions are said to be lasting Impressions....
As human beings, we readily recall things that we see or learn first, in any given period, far better than those we see or learn later on....We probably think of the first born, or the first school, the first job, the first meeting or the first trip together.... much more fondly n favorably than others; for their added warmth, curiosity, excitement, n off course new found novelty.
Likewise, for a gardener, the seasons First Blooms in the Garden are always wee-bit X-tra SPECIAL!
We have had a few Lily bulbs growing in this particular pot for a while now, but its for the very First Time, a bulb has ever blossomed.......that too in the middle of Summers. Unlike Easter lilies or Day Lilies, going by the enormous size of the Bud n its lustrous texture, they probably are some exotic variety, Beautiful n Glossy Trumpet Lilies or probably Oriental Lilies???

To the Chinese, Lily means 'Forever in Love' |
 |
Feng Shui believers hold the lily as an emblem of summer and abundance..... |
To me, well... The Star-like Lily reminds me of the Nursery Rhyme.....Twinkle Twinkle Little Star...

| How I Wonder, what you are..... |

| Up above the World so High..... |

| Like a Diamond in the Sky..... My entry for Today's Flower # 147 n Macro Saturday Have a great Weekend n Shine on.... Like a Star Diamond in the Sky! |

Your lilies are so beautiful, I especially like your first macro with the water droplets.
Beautiful lilies and stunning photos!
Your macro photos are amazing.
What a gorgeous belladonna lily, a lovely amaryllis with satin-like petals.
exquisite photo's...the water droplets add to the fresh, new born feeling of the lilies. Your thoughts are lovely too.

Beautiful images!
I like your thoughts of twinkle twinkle little star. It's something I'll remember. My granddaughter is named Lily and she loves that little song. :)
Thanks for visiting.
They are so beautiful! I beg to differ with the Amaryllis though, they flower before the leaves come. I have a vague remembrance of your lilies, yet cannot quite capture wherefrom.
Who known, my old head may yet spit it out in time.
Arija... You are right! Amaryllis blooms in Spring and usully ard Easter n I had written a post on Lilies sometime in April. Here's a Link to

I feel your enthusiasm! Nice photos too!
Beautiful images and sentiment!
It is such a different and very pretty type of lily to the ones I am used to seeing here in the UK.
Wonderful Lily photos. Like the way you show them, so close.
Your photos are outstanding and the lilies are stunning. I rarely get to see shots while they are still in bud, and I thought the one with the raindrops on them were very special. Thanks so much for sharing and also for stopping by my blog.
Beautiful blooms and they are star like. I love the purity of the white.
Gorgeous lillies! I love the macro, but enjoy the raindrops, as well.
Nice pictures, great detail of these beautiful flowers. Superb definition.
