White Trumpet Lilies


For centuries these lilies have been associated with various religious and mystical events, including Easter.  And, since that was just yesterday, I wanted to feature these beauties while they were in full bloom.
"Awake, thou wintry earth --
Fling off thy sadness!
Fair vernal flowers, laugh forth
Your ancient gladness!
                                                              --Thomas Blackburn, "An Easter Hymn"
