Sierra Lily opening

We'd stopped for lunch at a small stream and watched this Lily actually open in the hour we were there. Very cool.

Description

Sierra Lily (Lilium kelleyanum), Bubbs Creek, Kings Canyon National Park at about 9,200 feet. These have a great fragrance -- we watched it slowly open as the sun hit the area on a cold morning.
