Lilium 'Stargazer' Oriental group (Stargazer lily)
I got a severe case of sticker shock when I checked the price tags of these florist displays but it is early February and, at this time of year, these lilies are imported from Columbia, South America. Columbia is the second largest exporter of cut flowers in the world after the Netherlands, and the 'industry' pumps two billion dollars a year into the local economy. With Valentine's Day just around the corner, you can bet that the cash registers will soon be singing. Alas, beauty often comes with a hefty price tag. Don't you agree?
you're not the only one who likes the lilies! Found a longhorn beetle, a lovely little hoverfly (or calligrapher fly, not sure), and this very interesting little fuzzy blob! Is it buggish? Don't know, but it's cool!
Well this is awkward. Poor Cosmos has somehow been transformed into their namesake, kind of ironic that a person infamously allergic to flowers has been turned into one. I mean, ironic that the florist's kid was so severely allergic to flowers in the first place, but yannow XD At least in this form they don't have a nose so they can't breathe in the pollen that makes them sick?
