Lilium formosanum

After being away for a fortnight the dry weather has arrived.
The garden looks a bit parched but some things continue to bloom.


Formosa Lily has so many seeds it pops up everywhere in the garden making
plenty to share

Over 9 ft tall at the back of the house
no doubt due to all the rain earlier in the summer

This Lily is on the top of my list for "Plants that die well"
The seed pods are attractive & peel open to spread
hundreds of delicate seeds packed in like 'Pringles'!
Good for dried arrangements 

Notice the delicate pink stripes on the trumpet of the newly opened flower
