I hate it when you get a filling in the upper back of your mouth and your eye and nose go numb.

Evelyn was making out with herself in the mirror this morning. No kidding. Yesterday afternoon she laid her head on my stomach and hissed at the baby like a little snake or opossum. Then she tried to teach him how to say dada. Today she is with her greatgrandparents Poulsen. I am glad for the rest.

Does anyone know of to get orange Asiatic Lilly pollen out of a white shirt?

Brush it off and then treat it like a grass stain. You will need an enzyme-based (aka digestible) pre-treat made for protein based stains. You could also try a little rubbing alcohol. Use hydrogen peroxide last if the stain is stubborn. Good luck.

A product labeled for pet stains or containing the word “enzyme” will fall under this category.

I’d get more Asiatic Lilly pollen and dye the whole shirt with it. : )

Sarah,
I like Brent’s idea.
You might look good in orange!

Love Dad

Somewhat unrelated, are asiatic lillies easy to care for? I’m interested in planting some.

If you haven’t tried Carbona products, I’d highly recommend them. And if my memory doesn’t fail me, they have one formulated for grass & pollen stains.

Hope it works. :-)

Good luck with that stain. (And thanks for the advice, Sarah.) We have those lilies at work, and we brush against them ALL the time, so we walk around with suits stained orange, at least, until the drycleaner gets ahold of them.

Thanks for the advice. I got the stain out, mostly.

Shauna, I’ve never grown Asiatic Lillies myself, but in a vase they do last awhile. I’ve seen some yards here with them — they look easy enough.
