[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Following my posting of yesterday with focus on the Bush Cricket, here is the Madonna Lily itself in all its glory. The white flowers were seen as symbol of purity, and thus were connected to the Holy Virgin. Pilgrims to the Holy Land used to collect its rhizomes, driving the flower close to extinction, leaving it only on the least accessible cliffs.

The cultivated Easter Lily originates from L. candidum.

Hello Ishi,
An interesting view of the Madonna Lily looking lovely here in beautiful light and against the dark background. Very clear focus too and lovely colours. I expect this has a very strong scent!
TFS and best wishes, Ulla
