What a fantastic day! Yesterday I set out to make the 6 hour drive to TMike's place. I arrived late last night to get a hotel room in a city off the interstate, and once settled in, could hardly sleep due to the excitement of seeing Mike's ponds and lilies this morning. Waking up early, I headed to Mike's, about another hour's drive. The last few miles consisted of going up and down hills and around curves on a gravel road. My heart began to beat faster as I went around each curve that brought me even closer.
Mike met me and I followed him the rest of the way. Since it was still early and the blooms would not be opened as yet, we viewed pics of some lilies on his computer that he had just taken this morning. They were stunning.
Also, before we went to see the ponds, Mike showed me his set up for starting the lily seeds, and growing them until moving them to the growing ponds. He has a terrific seed sprouting system.
The weather was great, and there were many beautiful blooms to see, even this late in the year. There definitely were hundreds of the most beautiful lilies you have ever seen. Thanks Mike for getting blooms for me to bring home to show my wife, and make bouquets.
I got so busy listening and looking at the ponds, I forgot to take more pics, but here are some.
