“占星百合花 Stargazer Lily (Lilium)” (for Mother’s Day) / 自然 Nature / SML.20130512.7D.41730
Those who know me know that I love lilies—especially the white stargazer kind. I never knew that it is a hybrid lily of the Oriental group.
For me, lilium is a symbol for rebirth and a life force. It has beautiful bouquet. When I worked in New York, I often surround myself with white lilies at the office whenever I am depressed. These flowers emit a beautiful bouquet. Besides being wonderful to look, they bring an aura and presence that is second to none.
I bought these for my mom for mother’s day—Happy Mother’s Day to all! :)
Photographed with the 7D + 100-400 with 90EX used as remote-strobe for 580EX on light stand — bare bulb closed to the lilies so that it reflect some texture on the petals.
