A Lily Opens

Spring has arrived, with blue skies, warmer weather, and so many flowers. Couldn't decide which one to post -- I ended up choosing this one because (at least on my computer) the reds are so deep and I liked the curves & veins.

4/15/13 Update. Thank you all so much for viewing and fav'ing. I just saw this on the PP!!
gorgeous rich red - love this :)
