1. Title: "A Blossom of Joy: The Enchanting Day Lily of 1920, Captured by Amy Millicent Sowerby for Humphrey Milford's Flower Children Series The captivating image of a day lily in full bloom, as depicted in this 1920 postcard from Humphrey Milford's Flower Children series, is a testament to the timeless beauty and allure of these vibrant flowers. Created by renowned British botanical artist Amy Millicent Sowerby, this exquisite illustration invites us to take a moment to appreciate the simple, yet profound joy that day lilies bring to our lives. During the early 20th century, day lilies were a popular choice for gardeners and flower enthusiasts alike. With their large, showy blooms and wide range of colors, these flowers were a welcome addition to any garden, providing a burst of color and vitality during the summer months. In this postcard, Sowerby expertly captures the essence of the day lily, with its delicate petals unfurling to reveal a rich, velvety center. Amy Millicent Sowerby (1867-1955) was a prolific botanical artist, known for her intricate and detailed illustrations of flowers, fruits, and plants. Her work graced numerous publications, including Humphrey Milford's Flower Children series, which was designed to introduce children to the natural world around them. This day lily postcard, with its charming design and educational value, would have been a cherished addition to a child's collection over 100 years ago. Today, this beautiful day lily postcard remains a captivating reminder of the past, transporting us back to a time when the simple pleasures of nature were celebrated and cherished. Whether displayed as a decorative piece or used as a source of inspiration, this enchanting illustration continues to inspire wonder and delight in all who behold it.
