The extra rain we have enjoyed this year has suited our Crinum lilies, they are flowering abundantly.
Here is a close up of the flower … so lets back off for an overview ….
and now you can see the lilies in the misty moist morning light, halfway down towards the water lily ponds and dams. Luckily wallabies don’t find them tasty! These large lilies are a valued habitat for frogs, who nestle down in small pockets of moisture at the base of the leaves.
Isn’t nature marvelous! Can you imagine this wild delicate beauty coming to flower in your life, could you allow such fragile tenderness to spring forth from your heart? What kind of habitat might that create? Somewhere for love, generosity, compassion, imagination to dwell? Awesome!

Nice pics of crinum lily.
thanks rosy, i an learning how to use my new camera, and the macro seems excellent!
They’re so dainty. I’ll bet they’re fragrant. Seems small lilies toss out stronger scents than large ones most of the time.
i will let you know after a special investigation!
Nature IS marvelous! Even these fragile lilies know “To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.”
King James Bible
and we love it when it is their season to flower … although all the year they are doing their own glorious thing standing tall and providing homes and getting along with their neighbours!
Beautiful., and yes nature is marvellous. I’ve seen toads creating burrows in pots of geraniums, they know it’s a bit damp, and lovely and cool under there :). I love the photo of the misty morning .
i can just imagine those toads snuggling under the geraniums, and what a lovely pungent fragrance they can enjoy too!
Very lovely. I like how you backed up and got farther and then father away.
Enjoyed the sequence
It`s Really great I love this kind of flowers ,I love to catch orchids in the mountain
