Jul 21 My Annual Carolina Lily Update

 


This year I will have 6 blooming Carolina lilies. That is the most ever. A few years ago, I identified 49 on the property but only the ones I have enclosed in fencing have ever bloomed. The others get eaten by deer, usually before they bloom. The deer will eat them before, during and after blooming. 






And for good measure, one of my Purple coneflowers with a visiting bee.
