This lily looks a bit like a Himalayan lily, or a lily of Nepal (except the Nepal lily has a slight green tinge to the white parts of the petals).
Lovely lily, scent so sweet,
But don’t sniff too close,
Tiny stamens with their feet,
Dab dust on your nose.

They definitely will leave some dust! Lilies are so lush and their scent heady.

Beautiful, Anneli. I’d be the one with the faint hue of yellow on my nose 😊

I can see why bees go for flowers and get the pollen on their legs.

One person’s sweet is another’s sickly — this sort of lily has a fragrance that I don’t enjoy. The commercial Easter lilies are the worst. I give their displays a wide berth to avoid the scent!

You’re right. It’s not for everyone, and I’m not sure I’d want a houseful. I feel like that about lilacs. They smell so nice but you don’t want the room filled with that fragrance. But outside I think they’re great.

I wonder how many people have stuck their head in to sniff a lily and ended up with pollen on their nose.
