We had wonderful rain yesterday. I got 2.5 inches and was so happy for every drop. Thank God for it, even though it means it will soon be time to cut grass again. The earth is soft and moist and the weeds and grass come up easily after such a good soaker. If I get back to the weeding in time, the squamageria lillies may not have to fight their way through the grass. Another name for these beauties is Naked Ladies, since the flowers burst forth before any leaves appear. Too bad they smell so bad.They are totally unsuitable for indoor flower arrangements.
I am watching for both squamegerias and spider lillies (also known as surprise lillies) to begin appearing any day now.
