The lilies are stunning in every way, I especially like the deep reds, I've never seen any like those.

This southern girl has never seen so many growing in the ground. They'll never do well here so I'll have to go back for another visit...<br />So happy to meet you and chat with you this weekend.<br />MeemsMeemshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16341998120938921741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547783720122066148.post-21229644628774477912010-07-15T14:58:40.781-05:002010-07-15T14:58:40.781-05:00Oh, I would have been smitten with lily lust, too,...Oh, I would have been smitten with lily lust, too, Jean! These are beautiful. And I have noticed the monarda on so many Buffalo posts; if you ever find out their secret, I hope you'll share it with us.<br /><br />Since I didn't get to attend this year, I'm enjoying the weekend vicariously through everyone's posts. Thanks for sharing not only these photos, but the photos of the bloggers on Tuesday's post--wow, 70? Maybe next year will see 100!Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547783720122066148.post-28881381891605582132010-07-15T13:05:47.916-05:002010-07-15T13:05:47.916-05:00I am so glad you showed these, Jean, for lilies ar...I am so glad you showed these, Jean, for lilies are what I remember best about these gardens.

Instead of stopping to smell the roses, I stopped to smell the lilies. The best thing about lilies is that they don't take up much room. I need some of those huge orienpets too.Mr. McGregor's Daughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05911409327006498766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547783720122066148.post-15927128342275036932010-07-15T11:32:41.797-05:002010-07-15T11:32:41.797-05:00I'm loving all these photos from Buffalo.

These days when I walk to and through the gardens, I can be seen coming to a full stop and staying there to drink in the fragrance each time I pass the fragrant ones. And it's even better in the evening. If you watch just as dusk falls, you might get to see a Sphinx moth come in to drink in the nectar. What a treat!<br /><br />I think those folks in Buffalo have been holding out on the rest of us, making us go there to see it all for ourselves. What's up with that? Oh well, we suffered through it, didn't we? LOLOL.<br /><br />So wonderful to see you, Jean. I hope we'll have the opportunity to see each other again. I enjoyed being with you!Kylee Baumlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04288354709094515651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547783720122066148.post-52899576573832285642010-07-14T21:29:53.801-05:002010-07-14T21:29:53.801-05:00Were the Lilies not insane during Buffa10?!
