Happy Hump Day.
I hadn't taken any photos in several days, so on this morning's second walk I vowed to change that. Pickings were pretty slim, but here's one 0f a flower (and I'm drawing a blank on its name) blossoming beside a neighbor's RV...

I love it.
So sharp and distinct. The background both highlights the flower and steps back from it.
Flower looks like what I tend to call Aggie's pants. Agapanthus.

Thank you, MFI.
Yes, Agapanthus sounds right.

Dave, it's like something served up in a fancy restaurant. Great image.

Wow, Dave, that's an interesting flower, and I really like your take on it. Very nice! And the lighter background works with this.

Thanks Quint and Natalie.

That is one amazing flower! Nature is awesome!! Good capture!

Thank you, Rich.
The orange structure at the base of the blossom is the remnant of the bud case. Soon it will drop off, and the blue & white blossom structures will spread out and align themselves in a single plane (maybe 5 or 5 inches across) in a good example of radial symmetry.

Amazing!
