Asiatic Lily Sphinx and the Stylish Blogger Award

For Valentine's Day post, I have here Sphinx, a red double asiatic lily. This lily is unstable. Some flowers will come out the perfect double form, some singles and some with yellow or white kind of striping in its petals. I have chosen these two images which I think are the best representation of this lily.

Last spring, I have some Aladdin tulips in the garden, the color is appropriate for the the Valentine's Day theme.
