They are the large Oriental type Lillies - some white & some pink - they were Mum's fave plants & I'd hate to think that if I bring them, I'd kill them off
I've been here a few years - in Lybster - and I've had lillies growing outside every year. The winter was so mild this year though that I didn't even take them in for the winter and they're still flowering now.
Just to point out, I live just outside the village in quite an exposed site. The wind we get can be atrocious coming off the sea and they've all survived.
Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain.
