Lily with stamens

Got given the most wonderfully fragrant flowers at the weekend as a thank you - lilies, freesias, roses, you name it! The lilies had their stamens cut off, but this one was still in bud when they arrived and only opened out this morning. I know the pollen is wicked stuff for staining, but I do think their browny gold adds incredible beauty.

So that's me for today - with a very busy working week ahead. Happy Monday..
