I have discovered a new favorite flower--the red spider lily.
They are so unique. The tiny red petals look like they are velvet.
They only bloom for a small window, so one morning Chuey and Waffles and I walked to the 산성 Sanseong Fortress. Unfortunately I did not get cute dog pics, but I did get a lot of flower pics, so there's that.
The Koreans know how to do flower gardens right. They plant a whole bunch of the same thing and the result is gorgeous.
These flowers are often found on the mountains near temples, because the roots are ground into powder and dried to use as preservatives for Buddhist paintings.
We tried pictures from above, but Chuey clearly wasn't in the mood.
Since Chuey's pictures didn't turn out, Daisy and I went back a couple days later to give it another shot. But on the way we stopped by a new store right around the corner that sells homemade doggy treats. They also have a cute little photo op.
Last year there were a bunch of red spider lilies at the Sacheon Fortress which prompted Daisy, Chuey and I to give it a shot.
Unfortunately we just missed the window.
So we headed over to Sanseong Fortress.
Chuey poses so much better when you offer treats.
What a beautiful sea of red spider lilies. Even Sister would like these spiders.
