One hundred and five blooms on the plants, one hundred and five blooms, bend deep down and...inhale... one hundred and five blooms on the plants.
The Easter lilies in my garden are in full bloom with some plants displaying four and five blossoms. The air around the lilies is heavy with a fragrance so sweet it seems I could take a bite out of the very air and be energized by a sugar rush.
No wonder bees spend so much of their time buzzing within blossoms. To a bee, diving into a recently opened blossom must be like a person falling into a vat of of M & M's. And if an average flower is attractive to a bee them, it seems to me, the nectar within an Easter lily must be the equivalent of rich gourmet chocolate - or perhaps a spoonful of straight-up maple syrup.
