Bat Lily, three days later

The retirees in the park have finished their daily routines of walking and exercising at the time that I was photographing this flower. It's been three days since I last saw it and it was just beginning to open up its petals. I can't help but think that it is wearing a bridal outfit as the petals look so soft and delicate against the dark green of the large leaves.

Thank you but I prefer them to be rare or at least not so easy to find so that when I do get to see one bloom, it will be a cause for celebration. Also, people passing by were not the least interested in the flower. Perhaps they had already examined and admired it before I came across it. Anyway I had great fun photographing this flower and am glad to be able to share this lovely bloom with others like yourself so easily on the internet.

Hi Marble :
Wow one of the prettiest batlily pics i have seen so far. Which reminded me of a chinese phrase to describe a pretty girl
han bao dai fan - literally translate to waiting for the flower bud to open ..
