Very pretty , thank you Willem

I went off to google the lilies in my garden, which we inherited, we call them tiger lilies,anyway I am still not sure what they are

Hi again Peanut, I'm happy you liked this article. Couldn't you find an image that looked like the lilies you have, then?

My eyes were blurry, when it came to images, I got a bit distracted by articles

They said that a number of lilies were refered to as tiger lilies and then I discovered that there was a mention of a 'lily superbum' and that reminded of an idea we had of planting things with silly names or names that would make children or childish adults giggle

because we are daft,

and if we were in a position to having to engage children in a tour of a garden we would stoop so low to grab their attention



anyway I now found what I call our 'tiger lilies'
