Red lily

In spite of the best efforts of the lily beetles, this lily, which we've probably had for about 10 years or more, is looking fantastic at the moment.

I've seen a great tit taking lily beetle larvae, in spite of the way they cover themselves in their own excrement I should have put on gloves and cleared them off, but didn't, partly because it's a horrible job, and partly because I like seeing him come and collect them.
