My neighbor is an avid gardener. Last year, she found on line a day lily named "Lady Neva". She couldn't resist getting it for me(after all..it IS my name!) and here is the result.....and interestingly....it truly only stays in bloom one day....not like my fire engine red day lilies or my Stella Dora's. Go figure that the name actually means a "day"!
I love day lillys, probably because they are here and gone so fast. I always think of my mom when I see them because she always had them in her garden.
ReplyDeleteNice to have one bear your name :)
cette photo est magnifique, on dirait une etoile qui s'ouvre pour notre plaisir visuel
ReplyDeletethis photograph is splendid, one would say a star which opens for our visual pleasure
hmmm thats really a nice one ..take care.
ReplyDeleteNot only does the lily have your name but it is very striking and blonde!!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat photo. What a beautiful flower.
ReplyDeleteAs for the cloud in my picture, I didn't notice until you pointed it out that it looks like it's going to take a bite out of the crane. Thanks for visiting my NorthBayPhoto blog.
Wow, that's a spectacular flower. I've never seen a lily so big. And it has beautiful colors. How lucky to have a lily named after you!
ReplyDeleteVery kind of your neighbor to plant this day lily just for you.
ReplyDeleteOh...Thanks for sharing Neva,I've never seen it before...It's so beauty and the size seems like it wanted to show its beauty...What a blessing to have a beautiful lily named after you.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty.
ReplyDeleteIt's really beautiful! How nice to have a lily named after you.
ReplyDeleteLady Dot doesn't sound near as good. lol
What a beautiful flower! Your name is very beautiful too!
ReplyDeleteIt should be called the "It's Neva!" Day Lily. Pretty cool to have your own lily ...especially with an unusual name like yours. Still waiting on the Bettina day lily.
ReplyDeleteI have been totally impressed with the pics...didn't know you had it in you!
Très jolie fleur. It seems to have lips with lipstick on them :-)) (like you :-))
ReplyDeleteWow! That is one spectacular namesake - does is smell as gorgeous as the huge pink lilies?
ReplyDeleteI bought Lady Neva lilies (also my wifes name)in 2002 from Florida. Put them in my garden in Michigan. Lived up there just fine. When we moved to Arkansas in 2005 (January-Frozen)dug up the ones I could find. Placed them in a Popcorn can. Spent a month in a storage unit. Moved them into a yard and moved them again in November.
ReplyDeleteThey are up and Doing FINE>
Very hardy-just like my wife!
