Regal Lily

The regal lilies do indeed praise the Lord.
Some of my own last summer were
so exultant
that they praised Him through
no less than thirty snow-white trumpets on a single stem,
and even the most accomplished angel could not do much better than that.
 

 
 
Note: All week long, The Daily Gardener has been sharing quotes from the author Beverley Nichols, who was born on Monday of this week in 1898.
A prolific writer, Nichols is best remembered for his gardening books.

Today I'm featuring excerpts from his book called Forty Favourite Flowers.
It is exactly as described, Nichols sharing his top selections; the flowers he loved most in his garden.
Nichols arranged this book simply, using alphabetical order. Then he just shares some of his favorites.
