(123/366) As you can see my lilies in the previous photo taken a week ago are still blooming. For my own "2016 : one photo each day" group and Macro Mondays theme "begins with the letter P"
A Pistil is the ovule producing part of a flower. The ovary often supports a long style, topped by a stigma as is clearly the case here HMM!

A Brief History:
This image was taken in my side yard in Winter Park, Florida..
azalea [Gr.,=dry], any species of the genus Rhododendron, North American and Asian shrubs of the family Ericaceae ( heath family) that are distinguished by the usually deciduous leaves. Azaleas are handsome shrubs with large clusters of pink, red, orange, yellow, purple, or white flowers. The better-known native American azaleas, often cultivated, include the flame azalea ( R. calendulacea ) of the Appalachians; the pinxter flower ( R. nudiflora ) and the fragrant white azalea, or swamp honeysuckle ( R. viscosa ), of the E United States; and the Western azalea ( R. occidentalis ) of California and Oregon. Most azaleas grow in damp, acid soils of hills or mountains. The rose-purple R. canadense, a rare species with an unusually northerly range (from Pennsylvania to Newfoundland) is the rhodora immortalized by Emerson. Many of the brilliantly flowered garden varieties are native to China and Japan, where the genus is most abundantly represented. The popular Ghent azaleas are hybrids. Dwarf azaleas are grown by florists as pot plants. Azaleas are classified in the division Magnoliophyta , class Magnoliopsida, order Ericales, family Ericaceae.

Resonating came to mind as I saw this in bloom Yesterday, even though it is closed now the aroma is intoxicating,
never seen any other flower do that, most of us don't know that because its difficult to bend over:-)
