lily macro-The lily gets its name from the Greek name leirion and the Roman name lilium. In history, white lilies were used as medicines: The Romans cured corns with the juice from lily bulbs; The Spaniards believed that eating a lily's petals would restore someone who had been transformed into a beast back into human form; In medieval times, lilies symbolized feminine sexuality.

Faved. I love the contrast in color from the stamen to the white lily. Thanks for the background info, too.

I do not photo shop any of my photos. The odd one may be slightly cropped!!! They are as I have taken them. NO touching up!!!
I am such a sucker for a lily. The clarity center stage is striking!

We don’t make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"
