Gilding the Daylily

Though common and invasive, the orange daylily still strikes me. After Googling them I was surprised to learn from one site that they're "almost fully edible," which led me to wonder what that means. After all, a blowfish is almost fully edible. Obviously more Googling is required before taking the plunge, but the site did say the bulbs can be baked and eaten like a potato.

 

I recently updated my Nik software and stumbled across two filters in Color Efex Pro—Duplex and Classical Soft Focus—that I thought worked well here. I waffle on the use of frames, but thought it made the image pop a bit more too. Hence, gilding the daylily ;-)
