I made this lily garden for my Granny; she's 98, lives on the second floor and enjoys looking outside. She used to have a garden here, where I planted etc. but the creek kept over-flowing and washing away her garden. . . plus she kept getting older and older. . and older
.
She liked coming over and seeing all my flowers and was qu8ite taken with my Orientasl lilies. She's really gone downhill over the winter and doesn't get out as much any more. Seeing weeeds filling what used to be her garden made her rather unhappy, so this spring (after new plant height restrictions where I lived prompted me to find homes for all my ttoo-tall lilies). . .I took over her garden and gave her aoll my lilies (of course, I planted them, and regularly go over and tend them for her: I just got back from staking the drooping, multiple-0flowering thingsd!).
Now, she's delighted with her lily garden and views; she spends hours every day looking down at her garden!!
