I love the smell of Oriental Lilies. The Stargazer and Mona Lisa lilies are my absolute favorites. So when we moved into our house six years ago I wound up planting a bunch of these lilies near the front door and kitchen window. I love that you can smell them as you're walking into the house and whenever you open the kitchen windows. It's a small thing, but it's also something that makes me smile whenever I come home.
For those of you that don't want to spend a lot of money, look for these bulbs on sale in the fall, or, better yet, ask a friend who has some if they would be willing to share. After these bulbs have been in for a few years they should start to multiply so you will have even more to spread around your yard or to give away to friends.

Those are beautiful!! Lilies are just gorgeous in arrangements, but even prettier just growing like that:)
I just adore lilies! In my yard I have Stella de Oro and Tiger lilies. Each year I plan to add more varieties. They are just gorgeous and I love clipping them and bringing them into my home.

Beautiful lilies!
