*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...)

Yay for a digital SLR. Nice pictures of the flowers.

Looks like a variety of pink star lily to me. My parents have these beautiful orange speckled ones growing in their yard. I need to plant star lilies at the new house next spring, they're my favorite flower.

Well, mine have just come up, too. Those are an old fashioned and hard to come by bulb: surprise lily. Also known as Spider lily. they are HARD TO FIND. I love them.

Forgot to mention: you'll have thick, strappy leaves that appear much later this year in the flower stem's place. Leave them - they make food for next year's blooms.
