Tiger Lilly Time

Tiger Lillies are wonderful summer bulbs that amaze me every year. The way they hang as a bud and then after several days, unfurl . . .


 and curl their leaves and dance on their stems.


I love them every year.  When they finish flowering, they die down, and sleep for months, and then one day, they just pop up again and grow tall and strong. 
. . . and then in the Summer Holidays, I get these
"love 'em!"
