Every year I look forward to photographing Canada Lilies. It’s a challenge trying to find some way of presenting them a little differently than before. I don’t think these are all that unique but they are lovely flowers and I am happy just to portray them as such.

I know what you mean about trying to present a familiar species in a new way. The more experienced we get, the more that becomes a challenge.
The only time I ever got to photograph Canada lilies was in Massachusetts six years ago.

And the more we realize how important it is to find a new angle or composition.

Awesome! Do they also have the alluring scent?

Not much of a scent really. I guess it isn’t necessary to attract pollinators.

Nice! We had a lot of daylilies earlier this summer, but these are much prettier.

I think that I take the day lilies for granted as they are so ubiquitous with summer here.

Folks around here call them “ditch lilies” which never sounds very nice, they’re a pretty nice splash of orange for a couple of weeks.

They’re far more striking than day lilies — at least, to my eye. The color is so rich, but what I really like is the way they resemble a cluster of temple bells.

Yes, I can see that too although it took you mentioning it as usual. 🙂

I don’t blame you! They’re so graceful, and the color is so striking. The first photo, with that even spacing and even focus, is really special. 🙂

Indeed, they are lovely flowers and I anticipate them annually as early summer approaches.

Canada lilies are such pretty flowers. I love seeing your photos no matter how you capture them. The lighting is perfect in my eye and that is so important to make the blossoms stand out.

The lighting was perfect, Yvonne. In full lightly overcast sunlight which gave it a rich color.
