The belladonna lilies (amaryllis belladonna) are in full bloom in the garden. They shoot up from the ground on tall bare stems, hence their provocative nick-name. They are deliciously beautiful, and they thrive in our hot southern summer weather.

  1. What gorgeous flowers. I'll have to look for them online - I'm sure I could grow them in my climate. Love your pillows below as well. Your designs are quite subtle but very beautiful - hope your son is better!

  2. GOtta love nature. By the way, Virginia has always fascinated me. Every time I see pictures of the place, I think it's beautiful there. I hope you'll post some Virginia pictures some time. If I'm right you have gorgeous fall there.
