One more. Who ever is interested, have a look in the Archives on January 2, 2014. The blooms are almost identical. So it must be a lily after all :) ?

For what it's worth, they look exactly like the tropical Agapanthus or Nile lily, with the difference that Agapanthus grows in a big, round ball of many blossoms So, I wonder...

Very pretty, Betty! I love the "pin stripes" on the inside of the blossoms. I agree with Jean, though. They sure look like lilies.

A great capture. So simple, yet so beautiful. I do love the simple things. They always make the more lasting impression on one's happiness.

Hi Christine, the white ones about to open are wild Daisies, which now are open. The white/green leaves is a Hosta. Hugs :):)

Yes, that is one of Betty's beauties. The colour is lovely with the contrast of the white and green below. Are those marguerites wanting to open in the background? Yes, it sure catches my eye.
