Just in time for Summer…my Blackberry Lily started blooming today! Hard to believe it is already July! I love the freckled orange blooms of this flower – they are followed by seed pods that look like blackberries, hence the name. They are related to Iris flowers and their foliage can be mistaken for Iris or Gladiolas. Another common name is Leopard Lily for the spots on the flower petals. My friend June gave me these years ago and every year when they bloom I think of her!
