Turk's Hat Lilly.

Just thought I'd show you the orange coloured Turk's Hat Lilly.



I think of this one as the very best image of a "Turk's Hat"  
I have ever taken.
Why ? 
The unfolding green leaves below support the flower 
in a soft and gentle way.
The Lilly is just slightly off center, seemingly floating supportless in the air, creating somewhat of a tension, while the top and the bottom of the flower are peacefully equi-distant from the frame.

So, go ahead and argue!



The  riddle of  "supportlessness" is solved 
by revealing  the strong, curved stem !



The Turk's Hat as a bud and in full bloom
