The gray and rain prevented me from photographing all of Dorothy’s beautiful garden for her family. She tended it so well. The blueberries ripening, a giant broccoli ready to cut. New lettuces. And the tomatoes have really shot up. As I was leaving, the vibrant orange stood out amongst the greens. I am certain there is a special name for this flower. Dorothy kept the tags and seed packets of what she planted in her garden, for future reference,
Celebration of the Life of Dorothy H. Holley – 6 o’clock Friday night- Calvary Church in Shadyside, Corner of Walnut and Shady Ave.
This looks so beautiful, bright, and fresh – with that gorgeous Lily, big raindrops, buds ready to open, variation in the green leaves — a special piece of your friend Dorothy’s garden! Lovely photo, Ruth!
Absolutely beautiful.
It was gray outside but you got a great flower
Beautiful! I have an opening tonight so won’t be able to attend the service. Will be there in spirit!!
Wonderful shot of the tiger lily. And the poem made me feel as if I were in Dorothy’s garden again. Thanks.
beautiful picture.
what a beautiful flower!
You pay great tribute to your friend Dorothy by recognizing something of importance to her. Exceptional shot Ruth.
Dorothy loved your visits, Ruth. I knew about the berries on Greek yogurt.She was so pleased with your choice of the Warhol-like pictures of her on the cover of her last book of poetry.

Such a vibrant color with the raindrops resting on it.
We call that a wild day lily here on the mountain where they do grow wild. It’s one of the few lillies that the deer don’t eat.
Beautiful! I love how the daylillies are so vibrant and it looks like they’re having a good drink!
You will always find the people you loved in the things they loved most. Dorthy would have loved this photo. Thanks for sharing Ruth.
A very beautiful photograph. I have this as my backdrop on my work computer to remind me of her friends who loved her.
Lovely post. From the foliage, this looks like a lily, not a daylily–even though the color is like a daylily. Most lilies hang their heads down, so it might be a “stargazer.” Or maybe it was just looking upward, looking for Dorothy.
