Ah, yes...the 'tiger' lily...the wood lily actually...my favorite one I found last summer, it was this deep coral/pink color unlike the usual orange ones. The wood lily grows wild in the Black Hills, but it isn't easy to find. This particular beauty was near the road going in to Wonderland Cave.
I quit posting wildflower photos some time ago, for the most part, since they didn't seem to pique much interest...but I began my nature photography adventure with wildflowers and consider them my 'first love.'
I never get tired of seeing our Black Hills wildflowers, especially this time of year!
ReplyDeleteand this tiger lily is well worthy of a post...we have the same lilies here. your is a great photo...
ReplyDeleteHappy days
We do not have "tiger lilies" here in the wild, but I have them in my garden. They are very beautiful flowers.
ReplyDeleteThey pique my interest...your photo is a beautiful shade.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy seeing them. So many years ago, I did a lot of wildflower photography too. I remember laying on a railroad track, elbows and knees scratched by the rocks, trying to get a shot of an unusual bloom beside the wooden tie. Slogging thru swamps, getting caught up in brambles...I don't do that so much now.
