It finally blooms. This lily has been in my yard for three summers now. The first year we planted it it grew to about two feet and put out a nice top with several buds. Dave was absolutely sure that the dogs (meaning Minnie) was going to hurt it and take off the buds. Well Dave did it with a tennis ball. So that ended the first year. The next year it grew about the same and this time Minnie did get it. Ah...the life of having dogs. Then this year Dave put up chicken wire around it to help protect it. Well it grew and grew and grew. It now stands over six feet tall and has 11 buds on it. The first one opened this week. And it is beautiful. Thursday, August 7, 2008
