full moon day lily



there's a day lily in my garden that never blossomed. last week, i noticed there was a bud growing. and on Tuesday, the day of full moon, it happened: the day lily decided this would be her day. and thus showed her true colour, for one day: crimson red.
the next morning, the flower was curled and whithered. i am still not sure what is more remarkable: the beauty of the flower, or the ease with which this lily creates such beauty and lets it go the other day.
