However, if you had re-blooming Daylilies along that walk way they'd be beautiful, and they have a very light scent that even multiplied by several isn't over-powering. They come in all kinds of colors - I have yellow, a deep magenta and a medium pink - they're just beautiful!Carissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02346822464214959935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007999093281954902.post-54625747547591112332011-08-01T09:22:50.983-04:002011-08-01T09:22:50.983-04:00I'm another one that loves the smell of lilies...I'm another one that loves the smell of lilies.

It looks like a good spot for some pretty coralbells not scent and dainty clump forming and some pretty daylilies (most have no scent except the yellow ones).

My husband used to bring me home arrangements with those Stargazer lilies - you know the ones, pink and white. And I'd get so sick with eye problems and headaches until we finally figured out it was the lilies. You have orientals. And, I was wondering if it was possible that it's the lilies that are bothering little Stewey's eyes?Katherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00443276914204027757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007999093281954902.post-33890361983807400442011-07-29T12:38:35.097-04:002011-07-29T12:38:35.097-04:00I can't stomach the smell of lilies.

Well, maybe lily of the valley but I don't think they are real lilies. Had a thought--try spraying them with Febreeze. I wonder if that would work. Their ads say that it removes nasty smells and that sure is a nasty smell. lol Worth a try. Let me know if it works. I really do like your version of Aquamarine.<br />Pamela, Tucson, AZpamelarichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17204990303401510408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007999093281954902.post-10958528778035784762011-07-28T15:15:42.452-04:002011-07-28T15:15:42.452-04:00beautiful stitching...this one will be amazing and...beautiful stitching...this one will be amazing and would be in any color (despite the name).<br /><br />I like to look at lilies - but they do remind me of a funeral parlor when too many and too strong...<br /><br />Keep stitching and stay cool - we've had rain in Michigan but the humidity is the same, less heat but does that really matter with humidity?Sherry :o)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16747069007845394339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007999093281954902.post-19005288204680793952011-07-28T14:44:22.585-04:002011-07-28T14:44:22.585-04:00You are so right about the smell of lilies!
