Sparkling Tiger Lily by olivetreeann

Sparkling Tiger Lily

Today's Try 4 July word was silver or sparkle. I know I'm stretching it a bit here with the "solar flare" adding a little sparkle to the shot, but I'm so happy to have my Tiger Lilies blooming this year that I've just got to post another shot of one today!
Beautiful

never saw a tiger lily before, it do like having a tiger's skin. Does it also have potent pollen that causes allergy?

Interesting POV -- it looks (I think) like the stamen are legs in this.

Thank you Kerri, Timothy, Judith, Yao, Taffy, Maggie, Cindy, Nicole, Phil, Gerry, Ruth, Dione, Rick, Jane, Donald and Roe Jan for your enthusiastic comments! They really are such a spectacular lily and blossom #3 is about to open- maybe today- so there might be a few more popping up in the next few days!

@yaorenliu They don't seem to have as much pollen as some of the other plants Yao, but they have their fare share. You can see some on the water drop shot located at the end of the stamen on those little brown pads.

@gerry Thank you so much for the fav Gerry!!
