It was a great pleasure to see this Lily for the first time in my life :cool: - at Chicago this morning. I am hoping this will give company to another fine one posted by Phil. My wife kindly held the diffuser for me.

Ram: Glad to hear part of your wife's job description is diffuser holder - mine too :biggrin:! Neat to compare your single capture to Phil's stack, showing there is more than one excellent way to skin a cat. Great images both. >=))>

Yes Ram, this climbing lily is beautiful as its name says: Gloriosa superba. But your composition even improves its beauty with the circle of the petals and the crown of the stamens. Excellent.
Take care.
