It is unbearably hot here and so humid that you can almost drink the air. It does a number on me and I just couldn&#8217;t bear sitting in front of the computer to post. However, the very rare and endangered Turk&#8217;s Cap Lily bloomed on Sunday and I did get a pic with my phone. This bloomed the year I bought my house and possibly one other year, but since then the deer have eaten it despite sprays and weird protective housing. So this year I got three tomato cages clustered around it and then put long sticks through at all angles to provide a barrier. If the deer should knock into it, sticks would start falling this way and that and hopefully scare off the deer. I have been watching it closely and so far, no deer munching.\u00c2\u00a0 And then it bloomed! My photos won&#8217;t do it justice, but it&#8217;s a rare sighting so at least I captured it. I&#8217;ll see if I can get a photo with my camera soon.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-117 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/www.inklings.aslum.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/Turks-Cap-Lily-close-up.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.inklings.aslum.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/Turks-Cap-Lily-close-up-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/www.inklings.aslum.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/Turks-Cap-Lily-2010.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.inklings.aslum.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/Turks-Cap-Lily-2010-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl>\n\t\t\t<br style='clear: both' \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>And if you like paper and mail art, check out Maria&#8217;s great paper giveaway at her <a href=\"http:\/\/howmanykilometres.blogspot.com\/2010\/07\/giveaway-d.html?showComment=1280196349080_AIe9_BGKYmCMyM_0uVRXBryFEGiHQj0E3vf6OEvuvssNS3NqDTmBuxG57yrlAq_nkNjohEcx1lhQ4AXTdTUMMtOyYJ0xdCklr2TCgN0b9ZgKea6I6xbEsRWF6CUPO5T_m1XKqudqkhnxQm6jSV6mzP1XQuHFeaJp-pEf711MRU1AxQoe24pAiGoTUKQd34YAu3oajS6ooYXAoG-HCViPsJ5nxZ6_-Str7iKMtMyU1MParb4CMlXHIxZkEI0VaDIhAAR5vU2p0qT47whsKqUbrN4drx_FU31HU7GVKrtdePV-fuppxjc0ka9xBWGEcZKZ4VguDFAQcsi7z2ApnN2sBF6kkbCoLmWrjJtUaVMvUh7gzwgNY7_8qcUhTI1s_d_QL9UpIaunZIWV4HtwzqcdkevjR1Yh4s4XK64IUamewnd5aiW6ZnQC3QcOgwWQy2nvtMPABPXMh2naWkc235OPNHPSVxY02UZAjkHRRAdbQKPjIHprhBvrLQxJGkBbIxe4pA0cKaaVcDqFpj9HBkDZCteGOhl_Qpju7Xh4zjc768C2zvkRaCqauczgJ1ZfXjpJsxN_yNER-ZmCNWmQAeAgV9Z5AmGnttsDZ97vV2Jf9pTIqXUVyTWMYFoQDNxI8mu38FmSytHICd5PEHwnneQzxBMEbyYKNq_mW_FuPrgkOvUQidsgZrAtbkw#c1246426645999232512\">blog<\/a>.
