ABC Wednesday - Z


This is the last week of the second round of ABC Wednesday, although I've only participated in this round.
The letter this week is
Z
which has made me think very hard.
Fortunately, as I passed a local garden, I suddenly realised what my Z would be.

Zantedeschia Aethiopia,
or Arum Lily.
This is the main clump near the house.

And a small group by the fence.

I'm sure this will be an interesting week!

My zinnias didn't come up becasue I planted themso late. But I couldn't do zinnias anyway, so I worked very hard at finding a mountain reference to show. It iwll be up at midnight my time, so stop by in the morning.

You put a lot of thought into this entry - and it has paid off handsomely.

I would never have known what its proper name was! Lilies are very majestic and beautiful, although my mother-in-law still won't have them in the house ('Death!!!')

And I loved your story about the washing. It must have been nightmarish. I'm amazed that no-one wanted your old boiler for a long time. I would have thought it would have been snapped up by a collector.

I have always liked these lilys didn't know the 'real' name.

I enjoyed your post about washing, I remember using a boiler for nappies when my daughter was young, before I was able to buy a washing machine. At least your old washer found a home.
