More Day Lilies

My flower garden is blooming profusely now - here are a couple day lilies
   
This one looks like it is on fire

The second image is the one and only pink day lily I have (this year, I was successful in getting a second plant to grow and flower).  I was not able to get the flower in a good position to shoot it without cutting it - and I was not going to cut the bloom (I am trying to set the pollination and hopefully get a few seeds).  Did you see the spider in the lower left corner - looks like a crab spider.  I could not get a good shot at it.

Here is the same plant/flower I shot a few years ago -- better lighting.  I printed this one out at 12x18.
