Pretending To Be Butterflies

Climbing Lilies & Buddha
Sometimes inspiration strikes out of the blue.  Lunch at WaterCourse on 17th on a Saturday afternoon led to  finding stopping at a florist's just down the way.  Babylon Floral.  And among the multitude of other cool things there they had a flower in the cooler that I've been looking for for months and months.  The climbing lily, which I've only seen in Instagram posts from the Far East and in plastic form.  I'd actually resorted to buying the flower in bulb form six months ago and have been waiting for them to come up in the yard.  Anyways, patience has never really been one of my, ah, virtues and here they were. 


Butterfly In Red
Even with this afternoon's cloud cover the lilies glowed.  And sometimes flowers pretend to be other things.  They were butterflies with glowing wings against the sea of green that is the tree in the backyard.
