“In a balmy summer afternoon, the sun rays made their way through the petals of my fiery red lilies. Set aglow in the golden light, a beautiful iridescence appeared on the surface of the petals. Bathed in golden glitter, the velvety surface gleamed like a jewel before my eyes.
Of intense beauty and delicacy, the petals offered a marvelous spectacle only once in this unique afternoon, for the flower cycle started its decline the day after."
