Do you recall that I mentioned that the tall white lilies were lying down in the grass? They stayed down there for days, as if they were just done. But then after one full day of sunshine they stood right up, and they have been predominantly upright ever since. Well, maybe they got up to 120 degrees, maybe 150 in the morning, but they bend down to get the afternoon soon, when they are only at 90 to 100 degrees. I am certain that I still need to move them. But they are standing.
On another note, I got a couple of dozen roses from my darling step-son and his wife today. Flowers always make me happy. I had let the yellow roses dry out as they still had a heavenly aroma, but fresh flowers are even nicer.

Those are some resilient lilies! I have some planted years ago between two rose bushes which have since grown and completely overshadowed the lilies — I suspect that were I ever to cut the roses down, those lilies would pop right up and bloom their brightest as if they’d never been kept in the dark.
I like the moral you got from the lilies. It is amazing how great a teacher nature is. I learn a lot from my white Lily too.;-)
