Flower Friday.
Last weekend the rains finally came to Austin. We had been desperate for moisture for months so its arrival was cause to celebrate and to avert a flash flood. On Saturday my daughters and I played in the deluge and then returned home to work to move leaves and redirect the water so it wouldn't flood my studio. We all had a blast getting soaked to the bone and then much to our glee two days later these lovely Rain Lilies started popping up everywhere around town. I took these pictures near Zilker Elementary where one yard was absolutely covered with them. When I leaned down to take the pictures I was met by the most wonderfully sweet smell. Happy Flower Friday!

I planted rainlilies in the former runway turned my house to honor the praire that was once there. They graced us with their presence 2 days after the rain.

Beautiful! Atticus has been picking them on his morning walks to school.
I know this yard! So loaded up with lilies. Now too you can gather seeds from those flowers as their little seed pods are just bursting with them. Beautiful capture Sarah!
