Bittersweet Destiny - a wonderfully poetic title, isn't it? It happens to be the name of this particular flower. It is a Hemerocallis - a "Daylilly." Found it at Planting Fields the other day. I need to remind myself when shooting in gardens to get not only the wide photographs, showing a lot of the garden, and the relationships of different plants to each other, to show what the designer has created, but I also need to remember to look for close-ups as well. Sometimes they can be more graphic, as this one is.
Really beautiful work. I've had the same notion but it's the kind of thing probably best left to someone with more experience -- and a better camera. I do enjoy dropping in to see what others see though.
