Standing Out in a Crowd
This lovely example of the Sowerbaea juncea (Vanilla Lily) was photographed in its natural environment growing among a lovely patch of its kind in a paddock on the North Shore of the Hastings River, in Port Macquarie, NSW, Australia, on a beautiful early spring morning.
Shot with my old workhorse the Fuji S5500, I was lying down propped up by my elbows to get the angle I wanted so as to show off the surroundings in which the subject was growing, making a different shot than usual my portrait studies.
Fuji S5500: High resolution jpg, Macro, f/4 @ 1/950sec, -1 EC, ISO100, Hand held.
Lightroom 1.1 & Photoshop CS3.

G’day Sharon,
So nice to see you out on my wildflower safari and that you are the very first Bubbler to comment on my “outstanding” li’l lily.
Many thanks for your most encouraging and interesting ”...lovely…” wrap for my Aussie native eforts.
I don’t know! I have never thought to smell them. Next time I find one I’ll let you know. 8-)

As you can see by the buds in the background they start off a nice deep purple/pink then seem to fade into a lilac/pink. Close to the centre there are sometimes streaks of blue. 8-)
