I was away for the peak bloom of the lilies, in fact I almost missed it. They do bloom over an extended period of time so I was able to cut a few that are still looking good today.
My bouquet was pretty sparse this year so I had to fill in with Hydrangeas; three types, Hydrangea paniculata, Hydrangea arborescens ‘Annabelle’ and Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Penny Mac’
Beautiful, Mine are just starting to bloom. I need to head out and collect. The fragrance of a lily is always special, but when you’ve grown the flowers, somehow the scent it sweeter, and the flowers are more impressive, don’t you think?
They are certainly beautiful enough to bring inside! Lovely.
Gorgeous photos! Congratulations. :o)

Everything from one’s own garden is always better! Enjoy your lilies, their season is so short. Thanks for stopping by.
Hi Sandra it is a beautiful bouquet and I love the different varieties of hydrangeas!

Thank you for the visit and the kind comment. I do love them with hydrangeas both in the garden and the vase.
Your lilies are gorgeous, and I love the bouquet of lilies and hydrangeas. The contrasting shapes and textures complement each other nicely.
Thanks alot.
You’ve made it apparent I do not have lilies in my garden.
AND MUST.
Was that at your back door foyer?

You will have them next year! They are in the front foyer with those exposed heart pine boards. xsxs

Gorgeous! happy to see you hooked up with Gaye (little A)
