Although the garden lilies were finished a couple of weeks ago, their wild cousins came into their glory just about a week ago. Both a wild true lily and a wild day lily in rich shades of orange rose above the grasses and weeds in the untamed parts of the campground.
It made me wonder about the color orange in nature, whether this brilliant contrast in a sea of green, was a strategy for pollination? At any rate, I never cared too much for the color orange until I began to appreciate these wild beauties. Now, in line with this inspiration, there are new pieces in progress on the work bench here that incorporate both carnelian and red agate as a wearable version of rich warm orange.

I don't particularly care for orange flowers, but I love the form with these. They are vivid, yet still delicate.
I just wanted to let you know I'm on my way to vote - but I had to let you know how stunning your pictures are. I LOVE these - lilies are my favorite, but even your other pictures lately have been awesome. Thanks for sharing them. I don't have a garden, so it's nice to see the flowers others have. I could look at these pics all day! xx
Those flowers are so pretty! Your photos are always so gorgeous!
Oh, meowee! Those are gorgeous. Did you know that the www.photohunters.com theme for tomorrow is Orange....at least I think that's what it said over there, you may want to double check. Anyway, just wanted to say "hey". Entrecard is being whacky and I'm not able to drop for some reason?! Anyway, I'll be back to drop if they get it figured out today.
Absolutely divine.
Very nice.
Thank you!
I think they are heavenly and your shots are glorious!!

Oh, geez! It's me again. Just wanted to say that the actual addy for Saturday's Photo Hunters (if you're interested)is www.tnchick.com. Sorry about the wrong info above.
Those are fantastic photos! The angle of the first one is amazing. Also, just to let you know, I voted for you. Good luck:)

I've always been fascinated with your pairing of flowers and jewelry. Not sure if it is intentional or subconscious for you, but, I really want to do a post (if it is OK with you) on the subject. I would want to run it tomorrow as my Sunday Seller Spotlight post if you agree:)
Stunning lily pictures! I love the color on these flowers.
