Flowers for Friday.... Lily's Lily

SO this is ALMOST the last of the Gotcha Day anniversary pictures.....
The year that Lily came home her Papaw Russ bought her this beautiful Lily pictured below. Each year it blooms on the 11th... her anniversary.

With our recent move we didn't want to leave this special plant behind.... so it came with us.
I have to say it has never looked happier. It is about 2 times bigger this summer and seems to like its new home.

We have always been home to see it bloom on the 11th but this year we were at Kelleys Island. WELL... what do ya know.... it bloomed just a few days after we got home.

Lily isn't a fan of flies (who is?) but she wanted to make sure I got the fly in the picture of her Lily.

Can I say that this brought tears to my eyes? It is so special that you brought "Lily's Lily" to your new house and the picture (even with the fly) is beautiful. I cherish your thoughtfulness and love. May her Gotcha Lily bloom for many years. Miss Lily is a very special ladybug & so are you. Love, Mom
