Spider Lilies
Every year about this time, these beautiful red flowers start popping up in yards around our neighborhood.
Around mailboxes. In the middle. On the edges. Always in the grass! One flower here. A patch of two or three there.
I have been itching to stop and beg someone to let me take pictures of these flowers in their yard. Of course they aren't growing in ours! Even from the road, you can see the intricate beauty of these flowers though.
Today we were riding by a school near our neighborhood. There they were, across from the school, in a field that used to be a pecan grove! I couldn't believe it. So I took Addie and Paul home and headed back out to this field. It was around 5pm and picture perfect lighting!
