Nice photo. It looks like a day lily except for the outer foliage, but probably some kind of lily.
I like how you have framed it and it seems very natural and beautiful.

Thanks so much Paula, I appreciate your feedback. A few have suggested lily family am now determined to go back and find the sign to see what it is :) Mary

Comment from supergold
an excellent close up of what is obviously a lily; I see it more yellow than green; excellent sharp focus on the stamens and green pistil;

Like the focus on the flower. Looks like some strain of the Lily. Good detail of the stamens with the soft green of the petals. Like the faded b/g giving balance to your photo. Well framed
Thanks Mary for posting

Sweet little flower. Looks like it might be in the lily family. The stamen and pistils have nice detail. the pedals of the flower are lacking in detail. Seems there should be more color or contrast in the stems. Like the way that you framed it.

Thanks so much, your comments are appreciated. The stems were actually a bronze brown colour as shown which is one of the reasons I found it so unusual.

What a pretty scene, love your spot on focus, good frame and exposure to show the delicate details on this little green flower.

This flower is very pretty. He looks pretty hardy. I like the greenish tint and yellow stamen. The gray around it is great too. Focus is all on the flower. Great photo shot well.

Nice shot. This seems a lily. Great details, vivid color and nice contrast, good DOF, excellent illumination and texture, nice composition and sharp focus. Well done
