Florae for the Immaculate Conception

It’s Sunday. We celebrate the Lord’s Resurrection and… and… the meeting of the Lord and His Blessed Mother on that first day of the week, the Lord’s Day, Dies Domini. I just bet He picked a flower or two to give to His wonderful mom. A good example for us!

This particular lily (not sure what kind it is) is rather gargantuan.

    I believe what you have there is a Stargazer Lily. :-)

    Could it be a Madonna Lily? When you write about flowers for Mary, then I remember that as Cardinal Henry Newman wrote:
    “Mary is the queen of spiritual flowers, and therefore she is called the rose, for the rose is fitly called of all the flowers, the most beautiful. But moreover, she is the mystical or hidden rose, for mystical means hidden. Mary, born without original sin, is also without thorns and the scent is an emblem of her spirit.”
