Luscious lily
by Pat Valentine
(Claremont ON)
I inherited this beautiful lily when I moved house. The previous owner's garden plan was out of date and showed no lily in this spot, so I can't say what it is. I have tried to learn its name but to no avail (just lots of conflicting suggestions), so am simply enjoying it in all its anonymous beauty.

It only takes a few hours before the local deer population try to get to my blossoms, so I must reach them first in order to document their existance! This Oriental Lily was such a beauty, still wet from an early morning sprinkle of rain. Now they live inside a "cage" of deer fencing... simply to survive!

Taken in my backyard on a beautiful spring day, these two tulips were like beacons against the contrasting green of the lawn. I have to act quickly when they open, because they seem to call out to deer for a snack! I've learned to sprinkle cayenne pepper onto the buds, mixed with a bit of garlic - it seems to help turn them away from nibbling! Fortunately, I beat the deer to this one, and snapped a few photos before they could be eaten!
