One true VINE

~Jo Anne likes to plant lilies. I like to keep them standing. Together we enjoy their presentations. Lily growers know more what all that entails. I "Consider the Lilies" from way back when my Grandmother first called the most prevelant wild Tiger lilies around these parts... "Out-house Lilies". They are all along the roads, starting around the third week in July. (Solstice) She was born during the late days of the "Black Republic" ~1882. Everyone sure enjoyed more of summer's weather trips to their outdoor toilets and imagine seeing long stem Tigers, of a one day wonder's surprise, waiting aside the carved moon's door. God knows how much.
~These four cropped windows were Ray's idea yet he had absolutely no idea of what it all ment to me. He used this up-down composite for the first page of introduction and proper dedications... after a il'more clip & clean-up.

~It's not only what but how they share the light. Getting out of the plants vertical growth way and reaching in unison for the warmth of sun light: these gallarida share the same idea. The five bud runners are making the best of a tightly potted situation. Fanning out in a directed like manor and not all at once but sequenced to take full advantage of the limited opening for light. What a wonderful way to share and struggle for the opportunity to answer God's call... to seed and multiply. The dynamics of this flowers presentation is interwoven with enviormental signals that have served it's needs and other life forms for a time beyond our measure.
