Cromwell, Connecticut, USA. This year, we had an abundance of blooms on our Asiatic Lilies, including some that had not bloomed in prior years. One plant had ten buds on top of a six-foot stem. This was one of the first that opened on that plant. Later in the day, the top was bent over, with the buds hanging low. Upon inspection, an insect had bored into the stem just below the buds and the plant could no loner support the flowers. :-( 100mm Macro, 1/320, f/9, ISO 320, AP
