Oriental Lilies are one of my favourite flowers for the house. The perfume is quite sensuous and they last for a long time if one plucks the spent blooms. The stamens, unfortunately, drip dusty yellow pollen which stains soft furnishing or carpets so I always stand the vase of flowers on a polished wood surface, and cut the stamens away after a while.

This photo was taken years ago because I thought I would like to use it for one of my pastel pieces at art class. I never did use it
