To those who know me personally, my other online persona might be a bit misleading. Daffodils are actually my second favorite flower. As much as I enjoy these spring beauties, they can't stand up to the wild and wonderful tiger lily. However, when setting up my very first email address all those years back, "tiger lily" just seemed too long to be practical. So, daffodils it was.
I must not dismiss, however, the possibility that the reason I enjoy tiger lilies so much is because of my summer birthday (today). I don't know if that's just a coincidence, or if it's emotional. My dream, however, has been to wake up on the morning of my birthday, go outside, gaze upon my very own patch of orange and green jungle, and cut a few for my table. Thanks to my boss last fall (who moved on from that position a few months back), this year is the first that I am able to actually do it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!
Well, Happy Birthday! Your lilies are beautiful. My mother grew tiger lilies; I still recall their striking beauty and splendor. Hope you have a blessed day!
ReplyDeleteTiger Lilies are my favorite too. I also love anything purple...and I believe that may be related to my birthstone being amethyst. Hope your birthday was heavenly.
ReplyDeleteIt was a nice day, thank you very much. I have found out by putting up this post that my grandmother loved them, too. That was nice to hear.
