Naked Ladies

Another wander around the garden with my macro+extension tube ... and the Naked ladies (balladonna lilies) are in full flower at the moment .. I like this shot as the stamens look like little sugar coated cashews ... the smell is lovely as well..

Oh, the angle is lovely for showing off those sugar-coated cashews! When I was in Brazil, I learned that cashew nuts are only a tiny part of the bigger fruit, which they use to make cashew juice. (I should post a photo for you to see!)
