Thank you Karen. This was from a photo back in July, 2011.
Lilies have been a part of my gardens for many years. The regal lily has been a favorite plant; and is a natural choice for gardeners who want diversity in their collections. They are also very easily grown and are pleasantly fragrant. Most of all for me they add beauty to the landscape. This is the picture I took the banner from. It is in partial shade with early sunlight.

Thanks to everyone listed above for your generous comments, thumbs and acorns. It is very rewarding to note the support, encouragement and participation you add to the banners forum each day. The banner is the first thing we see when logging in. Somehow it reveals the personality and character of the members and leaves us with a sense of appreciation for their work and contributions. And sometimes we learn something new from them too. My heartfelt gratitude and appreciation goes out to each of you.
