Memories of lilies gone by

We used to have a lily just like this in our front yard, until some disease that only affects tulips and lilies killed it and the others we had, as well as poisoning the soil for planting tulips for at least three years. Hopefully we’ll be able to once again have a spring garden full of tulips next year.

Beautiful Lily and a very fragrant one at that.
Nice sharp image perfect in the viewing frame.

Sorry to hear that. Good that you took pictures of them so often. You captured every flower, at least almost each of them. ~VV~
