the exotic lilies

The exotic lilies beginning to grow in the previous post are the scilla peruviana that I featured in August last year.
I still want one and will look for them at nurseries soon.

one is all I need, as it will reproduce and grow into a large clump which I can then divide and replant.

    A beautiful thing. It might be worth looking on line.

      Elephant's Child; I've thought of that and made enquiries at local nurseries. If it is available in Australia I'll get one, but if it it only available overseas, I'll do without. I'm not paying overseas shipping charges for something that may not pass customs.

      Margaret-whiteangel; if all else fails, I'll ask the neighbour down the road if he would sell me one. I'm holding off on that because he is elderly and doesn't speak good English.

      only slightly confused; it starts off with a yellow cone and the flowers open from the bottom up over time. Then the flowers last just a few months, but they're worth it.

      fishducky; this plant isn't mine, it grows in the yard down the road a bit, but I'd love the chance to try it in my garden. A lot of the time my thumb is brown.

      Lee; and yet quite large overall. The spread of the strappy leaves is wide and once the flowers open from the yellow cone the spread from those is maybe dinner plate sized.

Words for Wednesday

Image
 The original Words for Wednesday was begun by Delores and eventually taken over by a moveable feast of participants when Delores had computer troubles. Sadly, Delores has now closed her blog forever due to other problems. The aim of the words is to encourage us to write. A story, a poem, whatever comes to mind. If you are posting an entry on your own blog, please let us know so we can come along to read it and add a few encouraging words. This month the words/prompts are supplied by River (that's me) and can be found here This week's words/prompts are:  1. on the run 2. belong 3. street 4. breakfast 5. tent and this image: taken by "Genius" and allowed by Val . Also Charlotte's colour of the month which is Orient Red for September.

Sunday Selections # 726

 Long ago, Kim of Frog Ponds Rock, (who no longer blogs), dreamed up a meme called Sunday Selections.  A place where those who were willing could put up photos they wanted to share, new, old, good, bad or indifferent, any photos you please.  Nothing rude or vulgar though. And we don't mind at all if other bloggers care to join us. The meme is now continued by Elephant's Child and I join in as do a few others. Andrew is one.  Messymimi is another. Drop in to their blogs and have a look. Wisewebwoman has also been joining us more often. **Elephant's Child is taking a break for the month of February** Continuing our road trip, today sees us in Snowtown, a small place 100km north of Adelaide.
