Description

Or at least I think it's a lily. If it's anything else, let me know. I snapped this hardy flower last July when we in California were experiencing a devastating heat wave....143 deaths as a result. If you look closely you will see small blisters on the petals, which I believe were the result of the blistering heat (no pun intended). Anyway, the stamens, resembling round fudgesicles on a stick, or maybe even corn dogs, look like they're more than holding their own. Thanks for looking in, and enjoy yourselves, it's much later than you think!

Such fine detail is hard to improve upon and beautiful to look at despite the heat blisters. I love the soft colours and rightly said, the stamens are very bold in size and color!
