It Just Isn't Summer Until the Lilies Open!

I adore lilies.  They are one of the top flowers in my book of favorites.  Really, I love a lot of flowers, but for some reason, lilies catch my eye all the time.  Does it surprise you that I have four Asiatic lily bushes?  We've had them since we bought this house, 6 years ago, and every year I wait for them to open.






The four bushes.  Two are red (the ones opening) and the other two are orange.  They're getting closer!






This is when I start to get excited!

Baby pods, more flowers to come later.

Not sure what this is, but it's a really pretty purple.

While taking pictures, three little baby bumble bees came to check out this flower bush.


Can you spot the baby bumble bees?


I normally dislike bees, a lot.  But these little guys were so cute and did not mind me near them.  So I may have to take bumble bees off my dislike list.

And look what's growing on my apple tree!!




          
Just for fun, a few black and white:



I have to say, Summer is definitely here!
