The first red lily I had ever seen.
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain!
My "bump" was in 2016 when, aged 48, I suffered a stroke. This blog charts my recovery. (Header clipart licensed by pngguru.com.)

Fiction Writing
I am Ahmed Abdi, a Wordpress blogger and storyteller who searches for stories that inspire people. I love writing because it’s a reflection of how I perceive the world around me. Lost in a world of endless chaos in my childhood, Unforgettable moments of tragedy and triumphs taught me the art of storytelling where I found myself through letter writing and then turned into stories but then sadly had lost everything I wrote for years. In 2018, I decided to create a Wordpress blog site that would allow me to store and retrieve every piece. Stories from my community, city and people are what make my writing so interesting and inspiring! I’m a tea lover so a cup of tea sometimes makes my blog.

There are unique color flowers coming into the market. I have seen dark red lilies. In fact I drew one. I have post on my lilies that I grew. Some from seed.

I just visited your posting on lillies, very impressive. I would never have thought about growing them from seed, what a great idea and great results you had. That is an inspiration.

Thanks not all the lilies were grown from seed. I only got one to bloom. We move too often. The rest were started from bulbs

Another Asiatic lily! Those rok! There are some weird colors about now that I never saw when I was growing them back in the 1980s. We had yellow, orange, light pink, dark pink, soft red and of course, white. The orange was the color of those marshmallow/gelatin ‘circus peanuts’.

Thankyou for the information. You really fill me in on the details. You must have an abundance of wonderful flowers growing in sunny California. We are glad to be able to see them in the flower stores.

The funny thing is that I do NOT have many flowers in my own garden. I love vegetables and especially fruit trees, but my garden is very utilitarian and simple. When I grew cut flowers, they were grown like row crops. The rhododendrons are spectacular, but until we opened the farm up for the annual Open House, there was no one there to see them. I do not grow them in my own garden.
