Gorgeous imagery for a gorgeous flower.
The photograph was captioned ‘Lightning lily’ which is a great name—luminous.
That’s what I call an eye for detail.

Rooted in pearls is so wonderful! 😊❤️
Thank you! I’m pleased you like that image 🙂
Glorious❤ 🙂 🙂 🙂

It radiates.
Wow–image and verse. “Lightning lily” “rooted in pearls”–beautiful!
I love that caption. I don’t know if it’s a variety or just a description.
Maybe both. 🙂
🙂
I think its covering both. Great to read. Michael

I love your imagery all through this one. colors of dawn and sunsets! Very nice!
Thanks Dwight. It’s the contrast between the still dark water and the luminous colours of the flowers that I love.
Yes!
And you’ve captured that in your words.
Thanks Ken. That’s what I was hoping for.
Your words capture the image perfectly Jane!
thank you, Linda 🙂
