I captured this beautiful flower on a mountain nearby Sarajevo, on an altitude of cca 1200m.
Hope you'll like it :-)
Lilium martagon (Martagon or Turk's cap lily) is a species of lily. It has a widespread native region extending from central Europe east through northern Asia to Mongolia and Korea. Several subspecies have been named. The plant is stem-rooting, growing between 1 m and 2 m tall. The flower colour is typically a pink-purple, with dark spots, but is quite variable, extending from near white to near black. The flowers are scented. Numerous flowers are borne on each plant, and up to 50 can be found on vigorous plants.
Name
The name Turk's cap lily, also applied to a number of other species, comes from the characteristic reflexed shape of one of the petals.

Hello Ena,
A really beautiful flower, and an unusual color for a Lily. A very nice photo of it too, although I would like to have seen a little less depth of field in order to blur out the somewhat busy background, as the flowers kind of get lost in the background clutter, particularly the top flower. This is a situation where an SLR does a better job, as point-and-shoot cameras and their inherent extreme depth of field makes it difficult to achieve a blurred background to the extent that an SLR can.
Still, an attractive image, and a very attractive flower.
John

Hi Ena !
A beautiful picture.
Contrast and beautiful colors, congratulations.
Too bad that the top of the left is a little overexpouse.
The description provided is also ok.
Best,
Adrian
Bonjour Ena,
