Was pleased to see these blooming this year. A rare plant in Illinois due to loss of habitat.

I really like how you separated the subject from the BG John. One really needs to look at the large image to appreciate the detail. Superb work in my humble opinion.

Hi John,

This is a tough plant to photograph due to its rarity. I like the vibrant reds and you were able to isolate the flower spike from the background............ Jim
