daylilly stamen

More flower stamen - these from a daylily. They dance around the edge of the image. I put my images on all kinds of things - mugs, puzzles, playing cards, etc. I took advantage of a free offer and will now have a shopping bag with this image.

sunny daylily

I have always loved flowers. They are colorful and come in many, many shapes. I was out early one morning when I found this daylily opening. In it's sunshine shape it is appropriate for all the sunshine we are going to get this week, already in the 90s.

dance of the stamen

The last three mandala have stamen-that's because they are at the heart of all flowers, also at the heart of the seed making goal of the flower - to provide for the next generation. Waxing philosophical here.

Day Lily from summer

I'm surprised sometimes going back over mandala for the year to find ones that jump out at me. This day lily was one, The Christmas tree is going up today!
