Absolutely wonderful. You caught it. Your close up of this lily brings it all back to me: The intense fragrance, the cool green-hued throat, the stamens and how the pollen (?) comes off so easily when barely touched. And the shiny green (?) pistil that is sticky and fragrant. I used to have lilies like this in my gardens. Great photo! The stamens really do seem to "float" so delicately above the pristine flower. Thanks so much for sharing this and for making the image large enough for me to enjoy that rush of gratefulness whenever I would look into and inhale such a lovely bloom.
