I don't like the smell of Lilies longfella, but I must say your one is a very pretty flower. Well done you.

Re: Pictures Of Lily.

Yes their smell is an aquired one and the pollen that rubs off on your clothes is also something you have to steer clear from. But I do like their beauty where ever you walk in the garden they catch your eye.
I think they are my last lillies of the year, all the other smaller ones were out earlier.

A beautiful lily Longfellow, love the colouring.

Like Mups, I also find them very pungent and I can't have then indoors as they tend to give me a headache.
