Another from this weekend. I believe this is some sort of lily, but not sure.
D7000, F8 1/15 sec, tripod, shutter release.
Thanks in advance for suggestions and comments.

Was this a wildflower, Bob? It has the look of something from the onion family to me.

Agapanthus africanus (African Lily). Tough to photograph, but you did well. Not a wildflower, at least not in this country. It is planted in Southern gardens mostly, although grown potted where it can be protected from frost in areas that have harsh winter.

Bob:
The agapanthus is very pretty and nicely captured. The bg in the RUC is a little distracting especially the rectangular white structure.

Very nice Bob, excellent color and detail, and I find the bg very appealing. Beautiful work.

Very nice comp of the lilies, Bob. Love the color; in a group they must be pretty showy. Some blending or other tricks could help the bg in places.
