Thought I'd share some morning beauty!
« on: August 14, 2012, 05:29:43 AM »
The long awaited Woods White Knight bloom! It opened last night about 8, and the smell was amazing. I smelled it from my front door! The bud was 4.25 long, and it took forever to open! Like almost an hour! There is also another bud on the way up, so I am excited about that! This was definitely worth all of the maneuvering I had to do to have this lily! I couldn't decide which pic was best--the size one sucks, but I have about 20 beautiful shots of this! Morning sunrise really helped!

Enjoy!

The size;



The beauty;

Lynne, your bloom is beautiful! Wood's White Knight always looks so regal and elegant to me. Great pics, also.

This lily continues to amaze me. Third night, and still so beautiful! It's about an inch bigger than on day 1. You can see a normal sized Trickett bud on the left. It makes that look like a pygmy lily! I am going to hate having to take this off....the other bud is going to be much smaller I think. It's about 3 days away, but no where near where this one was at the same point. We'll see....
