Description
One of the wonderful things about June in Michigan is that there is always another flower or flowering tree/bush waiting to explode as soon as the previous array finishes. It's like slow-motion fireworks across the entire early summer. These beauties were planted by some previous tenant in the house I moved into last April, but I for one am certainly not going to complain! We've had wave after wave of thunderstorms hitting us, some quite severe even, but I ran out and got this during a pause as the next storm gathered its breath for the final push across our state. I simply had to capture them before the wind and rain pummeled the poor things. Enjoy what's left of the weekend, everyone! (I've spent most of it watching World Cup matches...)

Gorgeous capture of these elegant lillies! All our previous owner left were weeds! We've had a lot of thunderstorms here, as well. Must be the same ones working thier way westward ;-)

Oh, Star Gazer lilies. I LOVE these. I had some in my wedding bouquet and the scent was so strong it gave me a slight headache...but they are SO beautiful.

Very nice! In Kansas, we get them much earlier--from late April through May. Regardless, a beautiful flower is always a pleasure to behold.

Nature's paintwork is exquisite. Great capture. I'm so glad you're enjoying the world cup. There is such a good buzz in SA at the moment...

Gorgeous. We've had the same thunderstorms you've had, but in my neck of the woods, there aren't many flowers to enjoy, but we have plenty of slugs and snails. Imagine that! For as long as I've lived in Chicago (longer than I care to mention) I've never seen live snails, and now, I find them everywhere, tucked away in their shells, or poking their eyestalks out before making their way up one tree trunk or another. As for this shot, it's a marvelous burst of color, indeed a slow motion fireworks display, and what's not to like about that? This is superb work.

Yessssss..stargazer lillies! Their scent is totally amazing, too! It's like no other. Lovely capture of them here. Lucky you. I can't honestly say I've ever seen them actually in the ground. But, do you see the foliage on the right of them in this image? I think it's a bleeding heart if I'm not mistaken. I just planted more here during the spring, because I can't seem to get my fill. Something about them just mesmerizes me in the beginning of each growing season. THE most delicate, perfectly shaped little things. Here's a link with a few good pics..:) http://www.easyshadegardening.com/bleeding-heart-flower.html
