There's such a variety of lilies - size, colour, form, texture and shape. My brother's lily hybridizing field, Lilycrest Gardens, is in St. Catharines Ontario. He has more than 100,000 plants, so I can see all the varieties in profusion, which this first image illustrates - masses and masses of flowers. By using textures I can disguise the paths and soil that would be distracting from the flowers. When we're in the field, we really don't see the backgrounds as we are so drawn to the flowers and their intense colours.
