Last weekend we purchased a bouquet of stargazer lilies for the dining room table. I took this picture yesterday of two of the flowers already open. There are more to come today and later in the week. These are my favorite flowers — I found the “meaning” of them on a floral website:
Primary Significance: The floral celebrity, stargazer lilies are young, bold, beautiful, and dramatic. The meaning of these fragrant flowers can be one of wealth and prosperity, but their white variety can dress down to genuinely express purity and sympathy.

Damsel – do you folks have any Daphne around your house? This is the BEST time for that flowering plant! Oh My The Perfume!!! 🙂
Hi Fix . . .
Nope, we don’t have that one — one or two of almost everything else, but not that one. After reading about it though, we just might get one and give the perfume a test drive! 😉
We have a huge Daphne near our front door, and we _used_ to have 2 in the backyard. They are truly amazing in fragrance, and relatively sturdy. The cold snap in January is what pushes it to flower, and the scent is … Hawaiian
(reminds me of Hawaii)
Damsel – just now downloading a few snaps of the Daphne – I’ll post on my blog a little later. That way, you can take a gander and have an easier time locating it at your local garden center. We were coming back from Church this morning, the smell wafts up to the doorway, and I thought of you again … you gotta buy some for a fragrant February!!! 🙂
