Surprise lilies

Our big rain was over a week ago. After a summer of 100 degrees everyday and no rain, the fields and most yards were yellow. One big gusher and a few days and almost everything is green again. We did have some losses, and I think the accounting is not finished, but I was surprised by rain lilies and school house lilies this week.

Schoolhouse lilies (aka oxblood or surprise lilies)
Mr Tom was not interested in posing with the lilies, so the picture is blurry; he was much more interested in scritches
