    I love the woods this time of year. There is so much promise and the promise is always and every year fulfilled.

  3. Ah spring--such hope.

    Our trout lilies are already in full flower, and the fawn lilies too!

  4. Hi, Mary. You are the 2nd person to talk about other wild lilies. The other person talked about white ones . . . I looked up your fawn lilies and see that these are his white ones. They are gorgeous! I have to see if they would grow in zone 3 here.
