Anthesis

As predicted, the lilies are starting to bloom just in time for us to leave town. Also unsurprisingly, the one that faces the wall opened first -- I had to hold the camera backwards against the wall to get this shot. Still, you should have heard me when I wandered out this morning with my coffee to look around and saw the thing. Actually, it's a good thing no one heard me. I can't even describe the sound I made, but it meant one thing: plant dork.

The other plants are considerably more retarded in their development, so we may have a few left when we get back. But I can see I'm going to have to adjust my rigorous vacation schedule.
