This is the flower of the bellancanda, a plant that belongs to the iris family. I've had those in my front yard for many years now but I've never seen them anywhere else. They produce shiny round black seeds that self sow so I have a lot more now than when I bought them.

That's a new one for me- thanks for sharing. I like how you shot this with that graceful stem leading in.
