Orange towers thrust upward tipped in black spearheads. A wash of red and orange fills the right side of the image. The central background is verant but fades into creams and pale yellows. Macro-photography of an asiatic lily.
Background of bokeh pastel of pale greens, blues, and purples. The foreground is filled with a papery purple flower. In the center of the petal is a white field with feathery yellow detail inside. A closeup macro photo of a wisteria flower.
Dark scene mostly black with subtle splashes of blurred green leaves, and a few pops of white. A singular iris stands unfurled. On each of its three petals a pattern of yellow and purple dots repeats.
Concentric rows of thin purple feathers spiral inward. The outermost row of petals is lit backlight by the sun which makes the petals look like they are glowing. Tall black hooked elements loom above the other petals.
From left to right the image goes from dark to light. Folds of the petals arc through the frame in focus. The texture is reminiscent of human skin bathed in light.
Crimson poppies almost completely fill the frame from foreground to background blurring about halfway up the image. One lone pink poppy with papery petals stands tall in the center of the frame.
Thin white spires extend upward and terminate in small pink balls. White and black spikes surround the pink cap. Varying heights of fungus repeat throughout the background disappearing into a rusty bokeh.
Long and thin pinkish-yellow flowers extend outward on an angle. In the opposite direction a rubbery green stem extends into the water which is almost completely covered in lily-pads. A gap in the pads leaves a mirror reflection of the lily above.
Cluster of small white mushrooms with shallow wide caps grown from the cliffside of a decaying piece of wood. The very top center of each mushroom is beige, and around the mushroom's edge are gills. Wild grasses grow all around.
A cottony wisp of a dandelion seeds stands against a light breeze. The white pops against the dark green foliage.
In the shade of  a tree a pond lays still, water like a frosted mirror. Great green lily pads rest on the surface. In the central area sits a flower with concentric rows of white petals edged in purple, bathed in dramatic light.
Close up of the inside of a water lily which looks more alien than plant. The center is composed of row upon row of short yolk colored tendrils which reach outward. Large papery pink petals encircle the core.
A bright yellow tiger lily hangs downward. Its large yellow petals curl towards the sky and its stamen dangle down towards the earth. Criss-crossing green leaves and out of focus petals cover the image for deep depth of field.
Low angle on a field of lily pads. The foreground is a completely blurred series of green circles. A stem rises far above the water and is crowned in a pale golden water lily.
