Spider Lily

These are one of my favorite things about the Summer. They only bloom for about 6 weeks, but I really love seeing them. I love their complex simplicity!

The thin ribbon petals, with the sort of butter cup centers...

The strange alienistic pollen buds that dangle from the spiny thread like center stems...

the balance of green leafs, with bursts of white, yellow, and orange... I just love them!
