Great take on the theme there, Rommaker. And a beautifully captured subject as well.

Really love the title & your description. Beautiful flower, well defined. An excellent shot.

Thanks, Mattana. I am sure that it is related to the Spider Lily, but the Spider Lily I am familiar with is a red flower that has numerous little spikes that comprise the blossom proper. I don't have a shot of it, but if I get one, I'll post it in the MTF. The Spider Lily was one of my late Gramdmother's favorite flowers and her yard was always full of them.

Interesting facts about the flower. Is it the same as spider lily? I did not know that it is an endangerer plant. Another nice interpretation.
