Lady Alice Lily

My special Lily just opened yesterday and it wasn't at all what I expected. I thought I sent for an old fashioned tiger lily, the kind my mother used to grow and it isn't anything like it. I sent for it in a very good catalog and it was so expensive ~ the picture looked just like the right one and this is what I have... I really think its beautiful but now I am still looking for the right kind... funny but I guess it was meant to be. I was eating a popsicle or should say finished eating one and instead of putting the stick in my mouth or on the ground I just had to keep it in my hand.... maybe the next picture I take of this beauty won't be with a popsicle stick.... lol  I had to hold it up as its not really a hardy plant yet.... I planted it too late but hopfully next year it will grow stronger and multiply. I planted 3 but the others are even smaller.... I blame planting it too late and the weather.... . So enought of that. I hope the picture is a better size. The picture of the rose was longer so I must have taken it side ways and didn't size it right....
hope everyone is having a beautiful  late summer day and the storm goes out into the ocean sooner.
