Double Day Lily
With their vivid orange hue and intricate double layer of petals, these blooms are endlessly fascinating to observe.
This striking photographic portrait of the Double Day Lily (Hemerocallis) showcases the dramatic elegance of its layered, flame-coloured petals against a rich black background. Two blossoms are captured at different stages of bloom — one fully unfurled in ruffled splendour, the other just beginning to open — offering a dynamic sense of movement and natural rhythm. The double petals, textured and radiant with bold streaks of red and gold, draw the eye to their intricate form and vibrant energy.
