Not a lily, but still something to consider. A wild rose growing in the rocks by the side of my county road.
Impossibly pink. Golden yellow center. Leaves that give a wonderful contrast to the pale rosy beauty of the flower.
If I were designing a flower that spoke of late spring it would be the wild rose.
Its glowing color and simple form speak of shimmering days and star-spangled nights that lie ahead.
Summer. Can you hear the flower whisper? If you listen carefully you will hear it say," Summer. It's just around the corner!"
i love the wild roses. they grow like crazy in the sandy soil down near the coast. nothing is prettier than a wildflower.
ReplyDeleteIndeed. This one was growing out of the cement we dumped by the side of the road. Amazing!
