Day lily and tiger lily

Most of my day lilies are this colour. I keep dividing them each year and spreading out the clumps so that I have them in several different spots. This year they seem to have come and mostly gone so quickly.I have just one of this colour, it's a little different and a bit larger bloom than the other kind.

Yesterday I noticed that the tiger lily was blooming. I just love the way it looks, what a cool plant.
And this one was in bloom a few weeks ago right beside our back patio - so pretty.

I love being surrounded by such loveliness and colour all through the Spring, Summer and Fall in the garden. My garden has many lessons to teach me about living in the moment and enjoying what is. Those are some important life lessons.

Now when you are dividing your bulbs, I'd sure love some of those tiger lily. A true tiger lily is so hard to find.... I have been looking for years. It is my one weakness in flowers (all the rest must take no fuss or be edible...)

Heather, that tiger lily is incredible! I have seen so many but none that look like that.

Your garden is a constant source of beauty, thank you for sharing.
