Stargazing

I guess I'll be on a lily kick for the beginning of

this week...They are such powerfully scented blooms.

Plus the stamen, watch out when that gets on your shirt.

I ofcourse always happen to be wearing white when I brush

against them...but if you take some tape and slowly, gently

try to lift the orange pollen off...you might have success! It's

worked for me in the past. Brushing it off or trying to rinse it

off is not a great idea! I also always strip them off the freshly

opened bloom..I think it's supposed to make them last longer?

Or maybe it's just to avoid getting stained by them and that's

why the florists do it?...
