*happy I have a Digital Rebel dance!*

My new camera came today!!
Also, my pink mystery flowers bloomed today.
So I took a picture of them.
stoney321, oh Master Gardener Goddess that you are... What is this??
It's a thick straight stalk with several flowers all clustered on top.


The pictures are kinda dark because it was getting dark when I took them.


Camera comparisons:
The maximum zoom on my Canon G3 Point & Shoot:

The maximum zoom on my new Canon Rebel XT using my 70-300mm lens (blurry because of slow shutter speed though...)

The flowers certainly look like lilies, but the straight leafless stem isn't very lily-like...

Actually, the straight stem is very lily-like. You're thinking of daylilies (the ones I had at my old house), which are different than lilies. I don't know why the stems are leafless though.

And wow! I want my camera to zoom like that! Of course, I don't want it to be any bigger than it is now. hehe
