Flowers for Christmas!
A warm day forecast for tomorrow at 37deg C so expect I won't be doing a great deal.
The roses are blooming well as are the lilies. The photo I have below is a common Lilium, they seem to multiply and not die out as other varieties of the Lilium do.
My late mother used to have beautiful Liliums and because they bloomed around Christmas time we called them 'The Christmas Lily'. I do have a photo of them somewhere, but for now a photo of the common one.

ReplyDeleteThanks Buttons. I will send some heat up to your...but for us it won't stay hot for long, probably much cooler tomorrow :) Hugs M xoxox
Deletegood morning, lovely lilies, they are my dil's favourite and i found out they are poisonous for cats. her's love to eat flowers inside. 40 something here today, too hot for me. have a lovely day whatever you get up to. staying inside sounds good. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks. Many plants and flowers are poisonous to animals and humans, pays to be careful.
DeleteOh yes, your 40 is way too hot for me too, once it gets over 30 to about 33 it's too hot and I love the hot weather if I stay inside.
Gorgeous photo!
ReplyDeleteThanks Beth :)
DeleteGreat shot of the lily. Hope you have been able to keep cool today. We have 40° on the Peninsula but it doesn't seem as hot as in Brisbane at 32° I guess because it is not as humid. All our melbourne friends are sweltering but they have gone to the beach to lie in the water. We preferred to stay home in the shade and find it bareable.
ReplyDeleteThanks Diane.
DeleteYes, stayed inside and outside in shade. Brisbane is as you say more humid, and it's that that makes it feel hotter. Keep cool, supposed to be another hot one here tomorrow.
Ooops bearable
ReplyDeleteThey're gorgeous - but don't let the pollen stain your clothes!!! I hope they last out the heat - and that you do too!!
ReplyDeleteThanks. Oh the pollen, that's why I don't pick any and bring them inside, sure does stain..you are not wrong on that one.
DeleteThey are doing ok in the heat thanks..
