Royal star gazer bloomsA feeling of glitter burst inside me when I saw these star gazer lilies blooming in my garden three days ago. I had quite a roller coaster life lately. But seeing these lilies with their vibrant pink color gave me comfort and cheers to keep moving forward for a brighter tomorrow. These lilies usually bloom in middle of July or Summer or sometimes late August. They have such a heavenly scent that lingers in for a long time in our surroundings.
I heard they are symbol of prosperity and wealth and they represent young, beautiful, dramatic and bold.
I also noticed that they are also used in parties and weddings.
They are so easy to grow. You just need a ground where they receive solid amounts of sunlight.
They are called star gazer lilies because whenever they bloom, they seem to gaze towards the stars or going upwards.
There are now 13 spots of star gazer lilies in our surroundings. I gave the fourteenth one to my mother in law’s garden.
How do I look? 
I appreciate your dropping by guys. And I assure you am going to visit your blogs. Promise!
Peace!

@gagay, happy to see you again sis gagy. glad you like my shots. i super love your pink barbie doll.
btw, dropping by from PF have a great Saturday.
Love your Stargazers. They are such a stunning flower. I’ll have to look into whether or not they would grow here. Thanks, Mel, for visiting my blog post as well. Those fires in the ranges will burn for weeks as they make their way along the hillsides of that long range system. Luckily that’s a fair distance from our home.

@Bernieh, hi bernieh, glad you came to my entry and enjoyed my gazers. your pictures are really good and those smoke is really scary if i were there. i’m glad you are ok and away from that fire.
Hi Mel! Love your stargazers!!! They are my favorite lily. They smell so good! I have maybe 10 stargazers, and I plan to dig them and divide them this fall as well as add 5 more bulbs. One can never have too many stargazers!
Blessings, Beth

@Beth, Give me high five for having stargazers as our favorite lily.
wow you got lots of them too. yeah, i better thin the bulbs out. they’ve been on the ground for 3 years now and tiny stem grew on the sides. must be more tiny bulbs from the mother bulb.
I absolutely love Stargazer lilies! I have some but they haven’t started blooming yet. Thanks for posting yours.

@Pia, hi pia, glad you stopped by. yeah, me matching shirt and flower picture that day. i’m so cool. yeah
you got awesome car shots btw. i love looking at those kind of cars and my husband enjoys it.
I love stargazer lilies.
I have never grown them but always buy a bunch when I visit the shops.
Maybe next year I will give them a try but I wonder if they would do ok here in Ireland. Would definitely be worth it though, as they are gorgeous.

@Raindrops and Daisies, Hi R & D, glad you liked my gazers. as long as you are in a zone 5-6 there in Ireland, you are ok to plant these beautiful lily. The crocomosia flower in your pics are a little bit blurry but I love the way you arranged them for a cheerful kitchen.
Your stargazer lilies make me go star-gazing the whole day. I love their fragrance too. You look lovely with the lily on your hair.
