Wood Lily Season

It is Wood Lily season out on the
Kennebunk Plains and the lilies are
in bloom. I went yesterday and, as
usual, completely over-indulged.
I came back with 100s of images,
sorted down to maybe 20, but oh
such lilies, such a feast for the eye,
such a wonderful smorgasboard
of orange and red and purple,
standing among ferns and tall plains
grasses like stars in the sky, how can
I be expected to restrain myself?
This is one of those images…a particularly orange pair with dark spots…just one of several variations on the Plains this year.

heaven calls for all out joy. These lilies are increasingly hard to find in Michigan woods by us
I have never actually seen a Wood Lily in the woods. They grow here on the sand plain, in among the blueberries, and on the open edge of the ponds. 🙂
