May Flowers

We've made the inside if the house "ours" but now we're trying to personalize the yard. I've found it a bit intimidating, but my dear husband has jumped right in. Last year we he planted some Asiatic Lilies under our kitchen window. They were gorgeous with big blooms, then all the petals fell off and they looked like boring sticks in the dirt. We figured we'd plant something different there next year.

But...to our surprise, this spring they came back bigger and better than last year (as bulbs do, which we have since learned)! And they bloomed very quickly.

24 hours later:

This makes me really excited about what the rest of the yard will look like soon!  We may have green thumbs after all!
