Stargazer Lily

She wears her finest star-shaped suit, glittering in sunlight, she’s a charmer. Impassioned floral, blushing pink and true a lily of finest ancestral markers, never graced a garden with such elegance. Hera’s child, gushed forth from the breast, sacred floral preeminent puts Venus’s jealousy to strictest test. With longer pistols than the white, she's the brightest lily delight!

Hello M. L. ... lilies in my mind are as good to admire as most orchids with their colour, shapes, and designs. An enjoyable verse indeed M. L. - Lindsay

Beautiful poem. "Hera's child … Venus's jealousy …" is vivid imagery. I had stargazers in my garden for a few years but they didn't make it through the winter.
