This lovely lily is actually a deep orange...
kind of like the center of a blood orange...
And
the center is a deep, dark maroon..
(somehow it looks yellow-ey here..)
I just love the frilly fringed edges...;)))
AND
This one has more blooming to come...
Beautiful striations that my phone camera
just didn't pick up...

A different species of flowers appear below

My first embroidered
lavender bush:
Three colors for flowers ;
at first I just had used two colors
but it looked
way too dark...
So I added those little very light lavender french knots...
This took me about 2 hours
to complete...
And
Here it is in progress
↧↧↧↧
I may make a few just partials also...
{Lazy Daisy stitches and French knots
adorning the stem stitching}

My ferns along the front walk in the late afternoon
seem to shimmer in this heat...
I am hoping the deer won't eat these buds off...
↡↡↡↡↡↡
this one directly above has never
bloomed before...
I wonder what color it will be...
It was a really humid day--but not quite as hot
as others...
so far, no rain in sight here...
