Fortnight Lily
June 21, 2006
In case you didn’t know, summer arrived today. Our indoor thermometer indicated 82F at 7:02pm, 20F more than 6/10/2006. Wonder what spell those fortnight lilies put on me to make me draw their portrait for 2.5 hours, under the burning sun?
Fortnight lily (Dietes), surprisingly, is not lily, but a genus of plants of the family Iridaceae. No wonder that I couldn’t find it under lily, and it explains why they look so much like iris. See what happened when I stop and drew the flower? I solved a puzzle that I didn’t even know exist!
