Like a Moon Flower........ Only Not!

     These flowers, I think, are either, a Moon Lilly or a Trumpet Lilly.  Either way,  They bloom early in the morning light.  They have a fairly large bell shaped opening (much like a trumpet), with a long stamen, being light and fluffy in the morning breeze!  By late morning (10:45 to 11:10) they have completely lost their bloom, sagging at the stem and hanging straight down.  Such a short life for a beautiful flower!   The extra shows a closeup of the trumpet.
    You can also see the photographer in the early morning, standing in her shorts on the high side, clicking away with a camera.   Hmmmm, I wonder who would be nuts enough to be out there?
