Tiger Lily

My Tiger lilies are in bloom. Very late this year due to the lack of sun and heat.

This Tiger Lily has new meaning to me in the last few yrs.
I had gather the seeds from a friends garden about 5 to 7 yrs. ago I planted them but they took a lonooog time to mature & flower. 3 yrs. I think. So then I had more seeds as they grow on the stems. Its rather interesting as I've never see a flower do that b4. Well, on Dec.10/06 my dearest Godchild & nephew was tragically killed in a car crash at the tender age of 22.
To say the least of the effect, it's life changing.
When back in Ireland my sister and William's mom showed me seeds she had started. When I said they look like Tiger Lilies she said they are and when William saw her planting them he said he wanted to grow Lilies too as he had seen the flowers when in bloom so one of the trays was William's.
So now I think of this plant as being Williams.
It's no wonder I grabbed a nice pic of it, Will may have had something to do with it.

I like the name, Will's flowers, Anjie, what a tragedy losing your nephew at 22 years old, I am so sorry, but love the fact that these flowers are his especially, think you should have this photo put on canvas. Take care now.

Oh Thank u dear Grandmage.
It's been a difficult time and hard to believe at times that he is one from us. Such a kind & loving young man that did so much for everyone in his life.

Thank you Pip C
It's so hard when they are so loved nice ad too young to die.
I lost my youngest brother when he was 21 that was back in 89 and it still feels life a few yrs. ago.
It's the hardest part of life.
