I love the fragrance of the lily and how it fills the room, especially at night. Different lilies have different scents and they are all intoxicating. (Except for my friend Lynda, it causes her to sneeze.)

It is so much easier and more reasonable to buy flowers in Europe. It is part of the culture to always have fresh flowers in the home, and also part of the culture is going shopping for flowers at the farmers market.
In North America flowers are very expensive to buy and are never reduced in price as their sell by date approaches. No bargains, as one finds in Europe.

Whenever I go back to Ireland I make a dash for the stores/market and stock up on all sorts of cut flowers.

I borrowed my friends black velvet jacket (part of her New Years eve outfit) and a cushion as part of the backdrop for this fragrant lily.
