Gardening adventures: Macro photos of Asiatic lilies

It seems everything is blooming a little later than usual this year, probably due to the extended cool weather and the heavy rain last month. Suddenly, everything is coming into bloom now. 

I've been spending time in the yard photographing the lilies. We've planted four Asiatic lily plants over the last 1 to 3 years and they are spreading nicely with one cluster (the pink one below) having more than 40 buds. I decided to take a few macro shots over the past week.
