You are SOOOO right. It was 80% open when we got home and then while
working on the pond my wife asked me if they closed up because the
flower was shutting. I did not know if it did so it taught me a
lesson last night. Hope it lasts a while - don't know how long the
flowers last. We have more comming up too - should be white, red and
yellow. Too cool. Time to take pictures.

Or it may have opened and closed by the time you get home.
Many
lilies are only open for a few hours a day. If you work regular
hours 8-5 you may never see them bloom during the week -
only on weekends :-(
