All that rain (there was another huge thunderstorm, at 1 a.m., which was New Mexico's natural way of choosing loud fireworks to celebrate July 4th), and all the warm (but not scorching) weather - this lily raced to open from what, just a day or so ago, were tight buds. Indeed, the garden is enjoying this weather - the seeds that I put in last week have already germinated, and now there are whole clumps of self-seeded morning glories (remember last year's photographs?) which may flourish in unpredictable ways ...
I really didn't know that this lily was going to be quite so obvious in USC's colors of cardinal and gold, and promise, hand on heart, that this wasn't intentional.
