This year my Amazon lily has got 6 stems with 5-7 flowers on each one of them.
I fell in love with this flower at first sight – when I was in my twenties.
I bought a bulb in the 1980’s when we had a very good plant shop in the nearest town – where I worked then.
I have always loved flowers, and very seldom fail with new ones – I am always well prepared. But the Amazon lily – no. The first bulb did not ever come up above the soil.
The second one did. But only never to set flowers. Then I got an upcoming pot plant from an old collegue of mine. Or in fact, from his wife. He grows orchids and she loves plants too –
On their porch she had 5-6 Amazon plants – and she gave away one of them to me. With a piece of good advice…
Let them stand outdoors during summer – and they will shoot flowers.
They did, already the first year.
Now they stand out there from May to September – and they grow marvelously beautiful flowers – with scent like a dream.
They stand below the grapes – getting ready now to eat. They really match – the grapes and the Amazon lily. In outdoors beauty. And eating – with eyes as well.

They are beautiful flowers and your grapes are looking delicious.
Thanks – it is remarkable that grapes can grow here during winter. I don’t cover them up, and we sometimes have 20 degrees below zero.
The Amazon lily looks so very lovely, and I am envious of your grapes!
Oh, the scent…😍And I make juice too out of the grapes. Being my neighbour you could have some!
I would love that. I am very fond of fresh grape juice.
Me too – but I like the grapes best as they are.
Lovely photos and beautiful flowers. I love the touch about the grapes. It seems this Amazon Lily is very happy in her new environment. Congratulations on having the companioship of this plant that is so meaningful to you.
Thank you – they go well together.
Lovely photos. I understand your love for the flowers. Simply beautiful.
Beautiful 🙂
Beautiful flowers and light!
