It rained for most of today and was overcast the entire day. Late in the afternoon I decided to go out to a local garden to see what I could shoot. The light was less than optimal but I managed to photograph some flowers.
My favorite ones are of the red speckled lily (I don’t know its real name). I got really low and shot it against the backdrop of sky (which was white). The other flowers included two hibiscuses, another kind of lily, and two unidentified little purple flowers. I love the effect of raindrops on flowers and most of the shots I took include them.

The pink lilies are Asiatic lilies. They are usually VERY fragrant. “Stargazer” is one of my favorites. The two small purple flower together are tradescantia, aka spiderwort. Their flowers only last for a day, like daylilies. I’m not sure what the others are.
Wow. Thanks for help with the identification. Things were so soggy that it may have inhibited the fragrance (but not the beauty) of the Asiatic lilies.
B e a u t i f u l photos. I enjoyed gazing at them
Thanks for stopping by my blog and “liking” my Sunday photo post.
Thanks. I love looking at what others are shooting and look forward to checking back regularly.
Beautiful
