Dark Secrets

The flower, I asked because I recognize the shape but know no name.

“It’s a ‘day lily,’ what them are called,” responded Bubba, “least I think that’s the name for those.”

I recall the title “Star Lily,” but my memory is more faded and porous than blue jeans worn, over time, faded, soft, corn-silk blue.

It was one of his, he was the gardner, shot was one morning a week or two ago.

    A day lily, star lily, by any other name would look as beautiful.

    Beautiful lily macro Kramer, thanks for the lovely contribution to Macro Flowers Saturday!
    Have a great weekend!

    Your lovely flower is an Asiatic Lily and not a Daylily. Daylilies only bloom for a day and yours should be good for at least a week. Beautiful.

    I have to agree with Valerie ~ I vote for something other than daylily. Enough said! It’s gorgeous. I’d be pleased as punch to have one in my garden!

    Asiatic lilies for me are the most beautiful. Very nice shot.

    That a beautiful colour of lily – I would call that in my garden an asiatic lily rather than day lily.

    Looks like a lily, the hint of pink is very subtle.

  • BPOTW Jun 29, 2010 @ 18:13

    It’s gorgeous with its delicate color.
