Grey's Lily - lilium greyi

Gray’s Lily (c) 2010 Patty Hankins

I’ve just added a new photo – Gray’s Lily – to my Beautifulflowerpictures.com website.

This past June I spent several days photographing wildflowers in the mountains of North Carolina. One of the flowers I was really hoping to find was a Gray’s Lily. Gray’s Lilies are one of the rarer wild lilies – growing in just a few areas of the mountains of North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. I was so excited to spot a few Gray’s Lilies along the side of the road in the Pisgah National Forest. I think this photograph will group nicely with some of my other wild lily photographs such as Turk’s Cap Lily and Canada Lily. There are still a couple of types of wild lilies native to the mountains of North Carolina that I haven’t had the opportunity to photograph – I’m hoping to find some of them next year.

This photograph is available as an 8X12″   gallery-wrapped canvas.  You can order Gray’s Lily from my website and I will have it available at shows this year.
