What I've seen in the PNW have been Columbia lilies, which are commonly referred to as tiger lilies. However, this one appears to have more green in the center than I would have expected. I would be curious to see what its fellow blooms look like. http://www.wildflower.org/plants/result.php?id_plant=LICO

Great contrast of colors. Glad you shared this beautiful flower with us. It would have been sad for it to blow away and never been appreciated.

You had a great idea Margot - wonderful, the lily between the deep green leaves of the bracken. Irene

How ironic. You have sort of immortalised the one which was lost. Nice close up.

Beautiful lily Margot...I have been propping a lot of flowers up after the heavy rain we have had for almost two weeks...(had a bit of sun inbetween though)...

Looks good against the bracken and love those freckles.
