Today's Flowers January 18, 2009

I chose to feature some lilies that blossomed in my flower beds last June here in Haymarket, VA. Why lilies? Because lilies are a symbol of rebirth and renewal and with the inauguration festivities starting this weekend and going thru Wednesday this is also a special time of rebirth and renewal for the United States of America.

So these flowers are for Obama and all Americans.

These six foot tall lilies cross pollinated with some pink day lilies thru the work of the little pollinating honey bees and big bumble bees.

This is a yellow daylily.
These are apricot daylilies with red center color.
And this last photo is of a large burgundy daylily blossom.

Today's Flowers at Mass

The Eleventh Day of Christmas

Sunday Morning Mass

At

Holy Trinity Catholic Church

In

Gainesville, Virginia

This brand new Catholic Church in Arlington Diocese just opened this past fall. It is a very beautiful church. The design is a blend of 12'th century Gothic with 21'st century Pottery Barn. All the beautiful red and white poinsettias were donations of parish members for the Christmas display. Hundreds and hundreds of beautiful poinsettias create the background for the nativity scene at the front alter. More white poinsettias create a nice low sweep of color before the lighted Christmas trees. Please note that to really appreciate these floral displays you should click on each photo to enlarge image and get more detail. Below is the wave of poinsettias surrounding the nativity scene. The red cushioned kneeler is for little ones to come and see the Baby Jesus.

In the last photo that is exactly what is happening. After the mass children are coming up to see this beautiful Christmas display.
Hope you enjoyed the flowers at mass today. Now go visit more Today's Flowers by clicking here: http://flowersfromtoday.blogspot.com/
