Our day lilies are starting to bloom in force. This is one of my favorite varieties and this was an especially good bloom. Thought the center looked like some molten lava or flame source. All comments welcome.>=))>

You shoot these lilies incredibly well, Bill ! I like your description - there is a feeling of great energy from the glow and the rise of the stamens. Wonderful colour - and the drops of pollen are nice touches too.

I knew this was yours, Bill, and that you had the 200 hanging on your A77. I especially like the pollen bearing anthers. An apt title!
