This is a Yelloween lily that I planted back in the fall. I've always been fascinated with the myriad forms and colors available in the lily family, and something about this cultivar in particular really excites me. I took this photo one night, well after dark, using a flashlight for illumination and a very long exposure. The flashlight was creating these incredible trails of light that really contrasted with the clean lines of the flower. I sat there in the grass for an hour, being eaten alive by every esoteric insect in western North Carolina, but I finally got an image that I really liked.
