Dutch Goes The Photo’s photo challenge last week was “shine” – though I fear I’m a bit late in posting for the challenge. 😅 My yellow lilies seem to almost glow in the dark in these photos – as if the flowers were made of sunshine. 🙂
And here is a glimpse of the journey that they took to get there:
Plants but the buds are not visible yet.
The plants are bigger but the buds are still too small to see.
Here come the buds!
Fully grown buds – it was only a matter of days. 😀
Hello, yellow Asian Lily! 😍 One of my favorite flowers! God added such detail to the petals.<3 In addition to these, I have orange ones, which are also open now (keep your eyes peeled, that post will probably come later this week), and red ones that are a little further behind and will probably open at the beginning of June. I bought pink ones this year and they already opened and died back. (If you missed them, you can see them here.) I hope to add a new color every year! I really want purple, but I’ve never seen them locally… but I’ve never seen one I didn’t like so I’m sure I’ll find something. 😁
Also, on a different note, I want to thank you all for the support – I got this in my notifications bell a few days ago:
And a special thanks to Keri L, who told me that my posts weren’t showing up in the reader because I was using too many tags and categories. ❤ Looks like it’s working now and people are seeing my posts. 🙂
Beautiful, beautiful! And so happy for you, too! ❤

Aren’t these the most lovely lilies! Even as babies they are amazing. God blesses us with so many miraculously beautiful things, and your lilies certainly are great examples. Excited to see the orange ones!:);) LORD, thank you for continuing to bless Grace 🙂

They are so beautiful and do look like glowing in dark. Did you use any light when taking the photos?

Thank you! ❤
I used the flashlight to focus the camera and then I used the flash when actually taking the photo. 🙂
