One of the joys of acquiring an established garden is waiting to see what grows. When we looked around the house in late September last year we either didn't notice these Lilies in a pot in the corner, or they'd died off. Either way, its been great to watch them grow this year and wonder what they'd flower into!
We've had similar experiences with the rest of the garden - splashes of colour developing unexpectedly all over the borders. The borders are still a mess (more on that another day) but in the mean time we're just watching and making a note of what's there rather than diving in redeveloping...
[About the photo - shooting close-up with a macro lens, a tripod was essential for the depth of field I wanted. I dropped a white Lastolite background in behind the plant to give me the white-on-white effect I was looking for. With hindsight, white-on-black would have had more punch, but would lack the sense of softness that I feel this one has]
