Mrs. Troutman's lily

I suspect this lily was planted by the former owner from a plant given her when her husband passed. The stone planter nearby was one you find in cemeteries. It has bloomed over 20 years for me. Unsure which lily, the red stamens haven't helped track it down.

Leslie's mystery lily!

It's beautiful and elegant. And I agree with Valerie, it does make a lovely banner too.

A nice memorable thought adds to the heritage of a plant. Your banner expresses the peace and serenity this plant may have been intended to bestow.
