Our second phase of lilies are starting to come out. Whereas the previous ones were orange, the new ones are white and pink which is a lovely contrast!
Straw flowers have a really strange texture as the petals are crispy- almost like they have been dried out. The layers are lovely though and when they are finished, the colour changes and lots of little fluffy seeds appear!
Even my Grandad is enjoying his garden at the moment, being especially excited about a plant which has just flowered for the first time in 40 years!!!
Love the little spikes on the sides of the petals, and the way there appear to be different kinds of flower inside the one, some are spiky and triangular, others are circular buds.
