Awakening of a Tiger Lily

Since this is an orange Tiger Lily, let me begin with the good news...our carrots have germinated (early)!  Everything is sprouting beautifully in the garden, and I am thrilled to be a grower, up close and personal:) 
This morning, I watched this Tiger Lily blossoming, and thought I would share the experience...

As the sun rose over the mountain, this beauty began awakening... 

...the sun was in and out of the clouds, so the lighting changes...

...first direct rays...

...a little closer...

...the next two are from the back of the flower looking in...

Good morning beautiful Tiger Lily! 

I hope you enjoyed the artistry of the budding of nature as much as I did.  And did you know the Tiger Lily has medicinal properties?  Just don't let your cat get into it!

Thanks for reading my blog, please leave a comment, I enjoy them!  See you tomorrow,
