Alligator Lily (c) 2011 Patty Hankins
I’ve recently added a new photo – Alligator Lily – to my Beautifulflowerpictures.com website.
I photographed this Alligator Lily (Hymenocallis palmeri) at Big Cypress National Preserve not far from the boardwalk at Kirby Storter. I found this on my second morning photographing in the area. Instead of heading into the cypress swamp, I headed out into a field. I wasn’t sure what I’d find – I figured I”d photograph the trees against the bright blue sky. And then I spotted an alligator lily just off the path. A little ways further on the path I found another one. This is the second alligator lily I found – it was in full bloom and in beautiful condition. I’m so glad I headed out into the field that morning instead of back into the swamp.
This photograph is available as either a 12X15 or 20X26 ″ gallery-wrapped canvas. You can order Alligator Lily from my website and I will have it available at shows.
