Lily 7-17-2015
Catching daylilies in full bloom in the home garden requires precise timing since individual blossoms only last for a single day. The bright morning light caught the rich bicolor pattern on this open blossom just right, bringing out the velvety texture across the inner throat and flared yellow petal edges.
The macro frame fills with the flared golden-yellow petals and prominent magenta-red center star, accented by curved yellow stamens reaching forward toward the lens. Unopened green flower buds anchor the bottom left corner, while a rich, seamless dark teal background keeps full attention locked firmly on the delicate floral details.
