Like a Moon Flower........ Only Not!
These flowers, I think, are either, a Moon Lilly or a Trumpet Lilly. Either way, They bloom early in the morning light. They have a fairly large bell shaped opening (much like a trumpet), with a long stamen, being light and fluffy in the morning breeze! By late morning (10:45 to 11:10) they have completely lost their bloom, sagging at the stem and hanging straight down. Such a short life for a beautiful flower! The extra shows a closeup of the trumpet.
You can also see the photographer in the early morning, standing in her shorts on the high side, clicking away with a camera. Hmmmm, I wonder who would be nuts enough to be out there?
