Thanks Oliver - I have seen this bloom before since its been in my neighbor's flower bed for a few years now but never knew the name of it until last night.

Thanks Jim - I tried to find an angle that didn't include dead blooms behind this one and this was as close as I could get to a clean shot. I was shooting from the sidewalk in front of my neighbor's house with a 100-500mm lens. I had permission to take photos but not to climb up into the flower beds to get the shot.

Don't believe I have seen one before - can never go wrong with water droplets on the flowers.

Thanks Jameel - fully agree on shooting blooms after some rain. The droplets looked particularly nice with this lily.
