"To me, photography is an art of observation. Itโs about finding something interesting in an ordinary place. . . Iโve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them." โ Elliott Erwin (Documentary photographer)

Yeah, it's work, but it's less work than grass and far more interesting.

So unique!
A lovely northeast native. We look forward to its July appearance every year. ๐
Reblogged this on anita dawes and jaye marie.
Thank you for reblogging!
What a beautiful flower!
Thank you, Anne. One of our prettiest wildflowers.
A belated Happy Birtday to Canada, which was July 1st.

Yes!
So graceful. Is it planted or wild?
From what I understand the wild ones are struggling due to constant deer munching, but this one looks great.
I have two or three seedlings but as of year 3 or 4 they’re still just barely 5 inches tall… I don’t think I’ve found a good spot for them (yet)!
These are wild, and yes, the deer and voles will munch them, along with those dratted European lily beetles. When the seeds ripen, we spread them in favorable places โ moist open meadows, part to full sun. Will tolerate dappled sunlight. It can take 5 years to bloom from seed!
I’m going to refer this to a priest friend, who likes to quote an old monk’s favorite saying, “The Way up is the way down.” Or is it the other way round.. . . Anyway, Sunday is good for memorable words and images. (I never saw flowers grow down; but maybe I’ve never looked.)
๐ Thank you, Albert.
This is so very beautiful!
Thank you, Kim! โค
Lovely! I wish lilies (of all kinds) found my garden more hospitable.
Thank you, but as consolation you have gorgeous Agapanthus!
Hello Gorgeous! … ours have finally started popping out all over too. ๐
They are beauties, for sure!
What a lovely wild flower to have.
Thank you, Brian, definitely one of our favorites.
LOVE! Mine – I think they are the same, Turk’s Cap? – haven’t quite bloomed yet but they have risen and look big and strong in spite of the thugs all around them. Beautiful!
Thank you, Kathy. Yes, Turk’s Cap they are. I love this sweet native, but so do many other critters, unfortunately.
Ahhh yes ๐
๐ Thank you, Val. โค
So very lovely!
Thank you, Laurie! Do you have these in your woods?
Not around our house, but I have seen them other places. But they are not common here.
a marvel of nature.
Yes, indeed. In the cathedral of the forest. ๐
What a soft, lovely capture!
Thank you, Julie. ๐
Silent Sunday: nothing else needed other than this photo.

Thank you, Melissa! Hope your summer is going well.
