Lilies on Black Backgrounds (6 of 10)

From “Flowers in the Night Garden” in Colour in My Garden by Louise Beebe Wilder:

“A sally down the garden path has quite the quality of a high adventure. We are accompanied by troops of ghostly flowers — nameless at night. At their sign the shadows part before and close in behind us, seeming to cut off retreat.

“Here a Lily shape is cut against the dark.”


Hello!

This is the sixth of ten posts in my “Lilies on Black Backgrounds” series. This post features photos taken in a section of Oakland Cemetery’s gardens with a large batch of similar lilies in various shades of pink and salmon colors, some with deep red highlights at the edges of the petals.
