Lilies

Challenge #245 in the Life in the Natural World series. Hosted by RuthC.

Challenge has finished

Lilies are a very diverse family of flowers, of the Lilium species. However, for this challenge, you may enter pictures which are not 'true' lilies, such as daylilies, (Hemerocallis family), arum or calla lilies, (Zantedeschia), or waterlilies. The flowers should be still outside in their natural environment, and not indoors in vases as cut flowers. Macro and close-ups welcome. Size of your entry: 1,600 pixels on the longer side. And remember folks, LILY has only ONE (1) L in the middle of the word.
