No Casablanca Here

I wrote earlier about buying mislabeled bulbs that were supposed to be pink and came up a bright orange. Well here are what were supposed to be white Casablanca lilies. As you can see they are quite pink. Charming never-the-less, but they are located in my all-white Moonlight Garden. I plan to enjoy them while they are blooming and then dig them up and replant them in a more appropriate garden bed.

Dear Shelia,
I get your feed delivered to my email address, and I can't tell you how much I love your photographs. As a newbie gardener in Los Angeles, it's just a delight to see what you've planted and how lovely it has grown! Thanks for very much!

Too bad both were wrong, but these are very pretty. I'm sure you'll find a great spot for them somewhere in your garden.

Oriental lilies are probably one of my favorite blossoms. They are so regal, beautiful, and smell wonderful! Nice picture.
