These flowers are ornamental Tiger Lilies and precious heirlooms to me. They came from seeds that my Mom gave me a couple decades ago from her own ornamental lilies. Mom’s ornamental lilies came from seeds given to her by her Mom from her ornamental tiger lilies. As close as I can figure, this line of ornamental tiger lilies has been in my family for probably 90 years or more.
I’m always anxious each year waiting for the bright orange blooms to burst into full color. It makes me smile to see these living beauties of love from my Mom and Grandmother.

Mid-month July Wreath
I made this mid-month wreath inspired by the summer flowers in bloom.
I made these flowers last March when I was planning my Spring Wreath. I held on to them for later in the year to use on a wreath when the lilies are in bloom.
Wishing you all a beautiful rest of the month.

After the storms left, I spent a great deal of time outside. I took a lot of photos.
Here’s a few of them:
None of my peonies bloomed this year. 😦
