There is a slight touch of fall in the air here in south Alabama. Our fall flowers are blooming and my spider lilies are doing well this year. They are slowly multiplying. They have taken a while to get established after being moved to this new location.
Spider lilies remind me of my childhood and bring back many pleasant memories. My agapanthus has seeded out and have lots of seeds. If all the seeds take root I will need to thin out this bed.
Lycorus radiata, known as red spider lily, red magic lily , or equinox flower, is a plant in the amaryllis family.
As the flowers fade, narrow green leaves with silver stripes emerge, last all winter, and then disappear by spring. They will grow in the sun or shade but the blooms are larger in the sun.
I cut a few of the spider lilies for a small arrangement that you may have seen on Instagram.
My daughter and her family visited us last week. I did a few fall touches in the house including this pitcher of sunflowers, alstroemeria, and limelights on the kitchen island.
My daughter put these pictures on her Instagram stories that touched my heart! I wanted to share with my blogging friends how sweet my daughter is.
One evening this week as I drove home the sunset was so mesmerizing I pulled the car over and took a quick pic with my cell phone.
I adore sunrises and sunsets! You can view a post I did with numerous sunrises and sunsets here.
As I turned into my neighborhood I saw the prettiest clouds with the glow from the sunset. Don't you love surprises like this!
I enjoyed an outing in the country with a friend this week. The farmhouse I visited had beautiful flowers. This cock comb was especially pretty. Last year I was given some cockscomb and I planted seeds in a pot from the dried flowers. They came up and I was rewarded with a plant that now has bloomed.
Isn't this Gloriosa lily gorgeous?
This variegated orange canna lily was dazzling.
Zinnias make me smile.
My cockscomb looks more like this.
I don't know the name of this flowering vine but it was stunning against the green grass in the pasture.
I wish I had gotten a picture of the farmhouse and the big red barn.
We also visited a local nursery and I purchased two pots of mums. Maybe we will have pumpkins in our area soon. It has been extremely warm with temperatures of 96 the last few days and we need rain. Wish we could take some of the flooding rain from South Carolina and North Carolina. For those of you in the storm-affected areas, you are constantly in our prayers.
