The native Carolina lily (Lilium michauxii) was blooming in the woods in late July. Last year was the first year I knew it was there, being that there are only a few plants on a single secluded bank, and the blooms last only a few days in the heat of summer. The foliage itself is inconspicuous. This spring, it took me a long time of walking in circles carefully scrutinizing the ground before I even recognized the newly-emerged leaves. But this year I was prepared and visited the spot every few days throughout July to make sure I didn't miss the show.
I shot all of these on the same morning using my Hasselblad and Portra 400 film.
