Pink Saturday Anniversary Giveaway

cake

Congratulations to Beverly! This is a one year anniversary for her renowned blog extravaganza….Pink Saturday.  These are for you, Beverly and one lucky Pink Winner!  I don’t know what they  are for sure.  Some sort of Lily that has a giant bulb with each stalk about three feet high.

Just like our Pink Saturday group they just seem to multiply.

Each stalk has 10 to 12 flowers and like this group, they are an enduring flower and last about a week…which is how long it takes to get through all the PS posts now!   They were planted at least 50 to 70 years ago by a former owner and like our group  shared around our 100 year old neighborhood.

They are such a beautiful pale pink.  To celebrate this Pink Occasion, I plan to dig up a couple of these bulbs.  One for Beverly who so graciously hosts Pink Saturday each week and one for a giveaway. Just leave a comment on this post and I’ll draw a winner the following Saturday. DSC07325

Thanks for stopping by, be sure and visit all the pink blogs at HowSweetTheSound and Happy Pink Saturday!

  10. With our little PINK SATURDAY having a birthday this week, I am on "pink overload" and that is difficult to do to me! I'm lovin' it like crazy!

    What lovely pinks this week you have, my dear. The better to see your through my rose colored glasses!☺

    Have a great weekend. Not all that warm up in my neck of the woods but the sun is out and that makes the day good. I hope you are surrounded by those you love and that you, too, are bathed in sunshine.

  13. Nancy... I don't know what the name of this flower is either... but when I lived in Dallas, I use to pass a house on Webbs Chapel that had tons of them in a sideyard of a home in Farmers Branch. Each year when they bloomed I think "maybe I should stop by and ask for a bulb"... I never did... You're a sweetie to give some away... spread the love girl!

    happy pink Saturday..
    blessings & hugs... Dixie

  20. Oh, Nancy, what a pretty pink flower and what a beautiful sentiment to share them with others and have them as part of a giveaway to celebrate PS birthday. Sharing one with Beverly is perfect and really in the "spirit of pink" that has been cultivated here!

  22. Hi, Nancy,

    I think what you have are the white form of crinum lilies - Crinum powellii var. 'album'

    Here's a website about them, with pictures:

  27. I think it's a crinum lily, or so i read in CurtissAnne's blog. They sure are pretty flowers. and how cool. I large stalk the yields a bunch of pretty pinks! :-)

    Funny how you compared how long the flowers lasts and getting through PS participants. And how true it it with over 400 participants and still growing. 'Tis Amazing!

    Happy PS!

  31. Nancy, you are a sweetheart - and just plain wonderful.

    You cracked me up about how long it takes to visit everyone. I think you are absolutely right. Most weeks I am still visiting when Pink Saturday rolls around again.

    Thank you for being such a loyal participant, and for always making Pink Saturday fun.

    Have a lovely day!
