Terrific pictures! What kind of camera did you get?

Also, does the orange tiger lily have a name by any chance? We found some lily bulbs growing wild here when we bought the place, I moved them out of the dense shade they were in a year ago last spring and they just opened yesterday and are identical to yours. I don't really think it is wild but maybe a remnant of a garden that was here over 100 years ago (we found an 1852 penny and a 1917 license plate here). We've also found roses and lilacs growing here.

Hey Chris, thanks for the kind words! I ended up buying an Olympus E-3 with a few different lenses. Wow, what a great camera. I'm broke now, but hey, at least it's fun to shoot pictures again. :lol: Honestly I don't know of a name for this lily. I always knew it as a "tiger lily" and nothing more. I don't think this is a new hybrid. It also has the bulblets growing up and down the stem, so I'll be transplanting those all over the gardens. I love it.
