I know that this looks like a lily but I've searched the internet for pics of hollyhocks. There are some that mimic their sisters...this one was growing up the rustically sided old restaurant called Veanos on Old Loudon Road in Concord, NH and it was such a pretty sight that I couldn't abandon her...oh, and they have great food inside too (not an endorsement) <<LOL>>

EDIT: A very knowledgeable source tells me that this is a gladiolus...got corrected on the spelling too !!!Comments

Pj, The contrast is wonderful against that 'colourless' background. Perfect job! Regards, Cornelius

HI ALL, SORRY IF IT TAKES ME A BIT OF TIME TO GET BACK TO YOU ALL, BUT THANKS TO YOU ALL FOR THE WONDERFUL COMMENTS OF LATE . . . Mark . . . No trees were killed in the sending of this message. However, a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced.
I love the contrast of the bright blossoms against the wood.

Lovely work 005!...The only 'hock' I know about is the wine!!!

To me this is definitely a gladiola - and a very beautiful one. The background is a perfect foil for it.

Nice. I love the contrast between the delicate and dainty flowers against the rough weathered boards. Excellent find.

Lovely flowers .. the contrast is very nice indeed between the brightly coloured blooms and the rough textured wood behind.

THE CAMERA'S ONLY JOB is to get out of the way of making photographs. It's entirely an artist's eye, patience, and skill that makes an image. ~Ken Rockwell VISIT MY GALLERY

The wood siding makes a great backdrop for this amazingly colorful flowers. I really like this one..I think its because of the simple, yet vibrant colors.

Beautiful colors in this glad PJ and the old wooden shingles make a great background. So when are we going to dinner there?? ;)

Aren't they beautiful? I love glads. It's the flower of August. I thought you did a color/b/w thing until I realized the shingles are gray. lol

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

Wow... this one I have to fave! The colours and textures are special.

"If I dream I shall be real, or really myself..." Robert Penn Warren
That's a gladiolus (not gladiolas). Means "little sword" in Latin. Great shot, made it easy to identify.
