trout lily
this dwarfed sized lily only grows about 6-7 inches tall, it is native to the great smoky mountains, i had to lay on the ground shooting this macro in order to show the inside of it, shot this macro using a nikon diopter lens attached to a canon 75-300mm lens
trout lily belongs to the following groups:
Smoky Mountain Masterpieces Available for sale asGreeting Cards, Matted Prints, Laminated Prints, Mounted Prints, Canvas Prints, Framed Prints and Posters

I think this flower is called «Trout Lily»I’ve been looking for her for two years and I hope to find it this spring .You are lucky it’s not easy now to find that tiny and beautiful flower in my area .The bulb is pretty deep and small and not easy to transplante.It’s a beautiful shot ,so delicat and gracious.
Christopher E... replied
thanks so much gigi, and yes it is a trout lily, they come in other colors also, this is most famous due to its color being like the mountain stream trout, and this was hard to find, i have quite a few in my yard that have already bloomed :)

Nice photo Chris,and very Natural just the way you like it,and the fly inside makes it even more so .Nothing like a good collaboration between Nikon and Cannon for a excellent photo…!!!!!!!!!!!!!
