Great shots everyone. It is clearly Lily time! And the bees and other insects are doing pretty good as well.
You may remember that some time ago I posted shots of this thorny contraption:

The plant is anywhere between 2 and 6 feet (up to 2 meters) tall. At the time, several weeks ago, I wondered if the thing was going to do anything flower-wise, or that this wasit. Well, it took quite a few weeks, but finally:

Apparently this plant has one or two bands of flowers that move over the flower structure. Here is one with two bands:

It looks as if the band around the middle is starting to split and move to the outsides, so maybe that is the pattern.
Sunflowers. This is a huge field (miles long) in Flemington, NJ.

Good Morning to All-
Thanks for posting the beautiful flower photos. They look great. Here is a wild Nesturgion (sp?) shot for you. It was taken with an Olympus C-5500.
