A pair of our day lilies. I left the leaf in for a bit of added interest. Version without the leaf in the following comment. Any preference? All comments welcome. >=))>

Lovely, Bill ! I really admire the way you can compose the flowers so well with all the greenery. That said, I do prefer the version sans leaf.

Leaf out and beautiful. Organizing a scene like this is sweet.

Bill:
Fabulous image of these two lilies having a conversation. Prefer the one without the leaf. Wish the front one overlap the top one a little bit more to cover over the bg.

beautiful, Bill. Either image is fine by me, but I lean toward sans leaf. I envy you your garden.

The leaf is like an exclamation point. I kinda like it in there. Pretty good garden designing along with the images that come from all the labor of love.

Has to be a treat to have a master gardner around! Do you specifically request scenes, or just take what you get
I like the version without the leaf. Love the colors and small droplets!

Great pair of day lilies. Leaving the leaf in creates a very different feeling, but I must say that I prefer the image sans leaf.

Prefer the image without leaf also, though I'm a sucker for having both in when the composition works.
