         The first I'll be sharing with you what I believe are named a Day Lily. I discovered them early one morning during January of this 2011 year while walking with my Dog Felicity.

        On that particular morning I actually met two of the Flowers I'm sharing with you in this Posting. The walk involved viewing how much further The Mary had risen or receded, as it was during my area's flood time in Queensland Australia. Like many others cut-off from Town access, journeying to where The Mary had reached was as interesting to view the Scenic aspect the Flood created as with discovering if there was any sign of Town access being soon available.

        During the return walk I noticed this Day Lily amid a Resident's Garden and stopped... I had never seen a green-toned Flower before. Of course pretend flowers and lolly flowers I have seen being green... but not an actual living Flower....

        Now that is definitely a Greenish Toned Flower I'm sure you will agree. I have researched information for this Flower to check if I was right in presuming it is a Day Lily... and it is.

        The next photo is a closer view of the same Greenish Day Lily...

        The greenish tone is more in the Day Lily's throat, fading out to a softish yellow feel towards the petal's edge, yet still hinting the green hue. I then searched, if in being greenish, there actually is a genus of Day Lily in that colour-tone, and yes there are two I found....

One is called "Green Mystique". The other "Lemon Lime Radiance"

         The Lemon Lime Radiance looked very much like the one I met, and have here to show you.
         The Green Mystique's petal edges were much more ruffled than my photo, which aligned better with the Lemon Lime Radiance's photo I viewed. Overall, a rather satisfying outcome. Feels good being able to identify something one experiences, especially when intending to share.

        The next photo, of which I'll be daring enough to call, a Lemon Lime Radiance Day Lily, is in the early process of opening....

        Almost looks a little more yellowish at this stage except for the Bud, which is very greenish.

         While searching for a similar photo to my own to help me identify this Day Lily, I also learnt a little about them to share with you if you don't already know....

         Though, like true Lilies, the Day Lily is part of the 'Liliaceae' Family, they also have their very own genus identity - Hemerocallis.
         Earliest known references are from China around 2697BC.
         Hemerocallis became classified in 1753, with about 30 different agreed upon species. From these, all modern variations have been hybridized.
         Hemera means "a day" and Kallos means "beauty"
     Hence, Hemerocallis, which of course defines the Day Lily as "beauty for a day"

        Next sharing also happened the same day. The meeting of a Flower being Pinkish.....

A Journey With Billbergia pyramidalis - Pt 1 and Today's Flowers

Welcome To Part 1 Of  My Journey With

     Some Bromeliads...

Sun 12 Feb 2012

A past Post shared with
'Today's Flowers 181 .

        The first day of February 2011 was my intended Posting date for this sharing.... My how quickly plans can change when other events overtake and require priority.

        Events around the Earth in general that are not so good keep following each other like waves onto sand.... no sooner has one wave ebbed when the next flows in.... and is exactly what is happening in Australia, Egypt... and I suppose there are other Countries that could add their names to a list of repeated upheavals and unprecedented changes occurring to one's awareness and Historical Records.  Great Changes seem to be in Process for all to adapt to and have the courage to find Inner Balance with.

        Whatever intentions I had for February 2011 can happen as they can happen... For the remainder of 2011, to begin with, I will have the courage to be flexible and find my own equilibrium to better manage how I do whatever I do...

        This is a Two Part sharing of "Billbergia pyramidalis" - one of the members of the Bromeliad Family.... with thanks to my Neighbour's kindness, these lovely photos were accomplished by my previous 5 megapixel Lg phone, Viewty.  They were done in February 2009, and are just beginning to bloom again.  My Neighbour's Garden is their home.
