This is a macro of the Fortnight Lily, Cape Iris (Dietes iridioides), in my backyard. As the name implies, it blooms every 2 weeks. I love the complexity of the flowers. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

I just happened on your blog today. I love photography too! I have two blogs and one is a photo blog. I like this idea of the SOOC meme. I imagine it sure challenges you to take good pictures the first time around! I hope to participate, if not tomorrow, then soon.
ReplyDeleteAnd your lily is so soft and pretty!
ReplyDeleteI love that tiny "hairs" below the purple part of the flower. You captured this in a very interesting angle.
ReplyDeleteIt's my first time to join SOOC Sunday, my post is up HERE.
Oh how pretty. And how nice that it blooms every two weeks. I have never heard of that before.
ReplyDeleteNice macro shot Jan. I need to do more macro shots. I've missed doing SOOC lately been way to busy.
ReplyDeleteIt looks interesting...happy SOOC Sunday.
ReplyDeleteIn case Mr Linky is not working...plus I could not get the commens to work either!
ReplyDeleteHi Jan,

You always have interesting captures of flowers.Very nice shot Ms. Jan.

ReplyDeleteI haven't been by to visit for a while. No excuse why--need to update my bookmarks. I think I might go out and get up close and personal with my iris before they fade. See, I jsut hadd to stop by for full blown inspiration.
ReplyDeleteWow! A lily that blooms every two weeks? How cool it that!
