These are sometimes referred to as a 'billy' lily (by old timers in Ontario) due to their wonderfull orange colour. Billy, of course, aluding to William of Orange.
Russell, this is outstanding! With the black background and the composition you chose, and the lighting accentuating the Lily, it really stands out! :) Thanks for sharing it! - Patty
Dynamite photo Russell. The beautiful orange against that dark background makes this so amazing and the one long stamen .. what is that about? :) You did a great job. Thanks for bringing to us. Anita
Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.
