Lilies

Autumn has come very early - I think probably because we've had such a long and fantastic summer.  So it now feels a bit gloomy - it's starting to get darker early in the evenings, we're all back in coats and sturdy shoes, and the colour is draining away from the garden - apart from a few odd gladioli which have appeared from nowhere.   I took these photos of lilies back in July - they last for so short a time but more than make up for that with their brilliance while in flower.





They're also reliable for providing a burst of colour each year and never disappoint.  The garden has been rather overgrown this year - it's been mostly too hot to get out and work when I need to - but I'm planning on a major haircut for the garden over the winter, which will hopefully give these beauties more room to shine next year.
