I spotted these Spider Lillies today on a brief foray outside into the muggy heat.

How appropriate after the Huntsman! (which btw I've read make good pets). Very interesting to see the bud beside the open flowers.
I find theses flowers really hard to photograph, there are so many elements to them.
I thought so Melissa :) Obviously I'm having a spidery week.
You're right Louise, I couldn't decide so I just focused on the middle of a flower and decided to frame the whole thing.
They are not out for long either Dave, In the heat they just drop right off.
Ah see now I didn't know that Kev, but gardening isn't my forte as such ;)
Now these are the kind of spiders I don't mind having around. :o)
What interesting flowers David!! You can send a little bit of that heat this way anytime you like :-)

Seen in my contacts's photos. (?)
heheh me too Margot :)
You're welcome to the heat Jill, we've got far too much of it!
great shot David. are these a native or did you plant them??
I have no idea Alison. They're in a garden near the river next to work.
Amazing flower and shot.
very pretty ! I've seen the same flower on someones stream from the USA, not that that means anything !!
It does look like the kind of plant that would be imported into just about any country that it'd grow happily in someone's garden doesn't it?
