Thanks Lorri and Terry! I found this one in Oct or Nov at Zilker Botanical Gardens in Austin. I just happened to stop by, I didn't know they were there! Good luck Terry. #2089168Bob Duncan November 18, 2005
This is so pretty, I've never seen a flower like this before. #2090836Lucy S. Durfee November 18, 2005
Thanks Bob. I hadn't seen one until last year when I shot this one. They are pretty tall too for lilies, shooting up about 2 feet above the surface of the water. The buds are very pretty too. I have one I should post. Then when the petals drop, the center seed pod turns brown - you may have seen those in dried flowers arrangements. I want to get a shot of the seed pod so I can do a triptych - bud, bloom, seed pod. Thanks again ~Lucy #2091000Donley L. Despain November 20, 2005
