At the end of June and in July, lilies bloom in the garden. They are beautiful to see,
and in places they are hard to brush past without touching the stamens. As you would suppose, the pollen that comes off on one's clothes is the color of ground red pepper. After a day or two, it fades to a yellow-brown like that of a turmeric stain.
Fortunately, the errands that take me past the lilies do not require good clothes.
