Deadheading lilies –
Leaves left as fuel for next year ~
Still taller than me.

Deadheading lilies –
Leaves left as fuel for next year ~
Still taller than me.
New lily blooming –
Hidden among other’s leaves ~
Almost overlooked.
Post rain petrichor –
The garden is drinking deep ~
Lilies battered though.
Lilies grown too tall –
Picking one for my neighbour ~
Vibrant pollen stains.
Fly on a lily –
Peaceful pause in a short life ~
I could learn from it.
One thought of many –
Seventy thousand per day ~
At last lilies bloom.
Snail on my lilies –
Evacuate it softly ~
I don’t hear it land.
White Calla lily –
Making a welcome return ~
Unlike Keith the rat.
Planting lily bulbs –
Bought in mixed bags at discount ~
Perhaps yellow blooms.
A surprise visit –
Uncle and Aunt bearing pots ~
Bursting with lilies.
