These old fashioned orange lilies grow at the corner of our garage where I can see them every time I pull in or out of our driveway. My maternal grandfather had dozens of orange lilies growing at the back of his garden. When I was about 5 or 6 years old one of my last memories of him was of asking him why he had so many? He said because they always made him smile. Every time I see these blooms I remember Opa and smile. :)
