Running the danger of being pedantic, this is not quite true.
The flower is an Alstromeria (looks like Alstromeria aurea) and has its own "family", Alstromeriaceae. Lilies are a different family. Of course in common language the above flower is also refered to as Peruvian Lily, just to confuse everyone :-) (never mind that the plant originated in Bolivia and Chile .. ). ... probably far more than anybody here wanted to know ;-).

Whatever family it belongs to doesn't change the fact that the picture is *gorgeous*. Absolutely love it.

Lovely shot. I love the shallow dof and the almost lensbaby type of focus.
