I bought a bouquet for Valentine’s Day and didn’t even see the lilies tucked into the arrangement because none of the buds were in bloom. One of the long pods fell off when I was putting the stems in a larger vase, so I tucked it into a small glass vase. The whole floral display is nice, but watching a single flower open and bloom may be my favorite. However, once it is in full bloom, the scent is overwhelming and needs to be replaced with a new bud. Ah well.
