I have been involved in photography since my first darkroom back in the 1950's.
Now that I'm retired, I have the time to focus on my images.
My favorite activities are hiking, kayaking, backpacking, watching the sky and being out in nature.

Is it some Variety of a Trilliam? It’s really unusual.
Beautiful!
It looks like a plant I saw as part of a British sit-com. It was, in the show, very rare, and protected. The show turned it into comedy as it was protected by the only person in the village who knew what it was, a grey-haired grandmother. She was portrayed in the same light as an old, single, crazy cat-lady. As I recall, they called it some sort of orchid.
That seems vaguely familiar. Thanks for the story.
These are Tiger Flowers also known as Mexican Shell Flowers. They are native to Mexico and Guatemala. Botanic name Tigridia (meaning “tiger-like”). I have some in my backyard and wished they bloomed longer. So pretty.
