The Alocasia Lily


I have just walked out my laundry door, and this most beautiful perfume came to me. Yes! I know what it is. It is the alocasia lily. The perfume is noticeable in the afternoon and evening. It always brings such pleasure.
I cannot help but think of our lives that can bring such refreshing sweetness to others.

  8. I don't think I've ever heard of it. Of course, I'm NO gardener. I can imagine it, though, and the fragrance when you walk out the door. I love it when a bloom does that.

  14. I feel the same way about the Lilies of the Valley when I walk around my parents' house in the springtime. It's magical - what that scent can do to you! The perfect simple pleasure!
