  1. You have so many beautiful lilies. I am crazy about then to and find more every year to add to the garden. Your Alicia Rose Kissed is such a dainty looking lily with the light tinges of color.

Gotta Comment? Great! Thanks in advance for taking the time. I'll get back to you as soon as possible, assuming I'm not in the garden...because there, I lose all track of time...(Don't you?)...Take care now.
