The day lily is continually changing

Although I said in my last post that the day lily flower blooms for one day before beginning to curl and dry,  that is not to say that the beauty of the flower is limited to one day. Embracing brief moments when the wind was at rest, I took some photos today of blooms that opened on a previous day mixed in with blooms yet to open and blooms now open on their first day. I am reminded of the amazingness of things -- how much amazingness and reflection can come from one flower on one plant in one small patch of soil -- just as there is to me great amazingness in the vastness that is contained within one seed and all that develops from there.
