ODD PETAL OUT… LILY
NATURE'S QUIRKS... CAN BE VERY BEAUTIFUL! In a massive bouquet, I spotted this bud with an odd petal, I knew I had to be patient, keep my eye on it, it delivered and opened, half leaf-half petal, thus leaving the bloom open for all to see ... open sideways... one of nature's abnormalities that sometimes occur.
Lilium longiflorum.
This plant is native to Japan and the Ryukyu Islands. It is a stem rooting lily, growing up to 1 m high and bears a number of trumpet shaped, white, very fragrant, and outward facing flowers.
I saw the majesty and sculptural quality in close up. Such panache!
Thanx for your time and comments, greatly appreciated, M, (*_*)
