Last month ,while walking along a marshy area near our home , I found these lillies growing with their green leaf pads on the shore of the marsh. They look too springlike to be blooming in late September. Somepne said they were water hyacients but because of the lily pads I will call them lillies or irises.

elles ont une belle couleur.
They have a nice color.
lovely colour - the shot in it's full size is really impressive.
It is an impressive flower. I like the colors too as well as the details.
I didn't know any lilies grew in the fall, Sue! These are an unusual shape too. Very pretty photo.
Beautiful flowers! I am reminded of a spring wedding bouquet. The enlarged version is magnificent.
Very pretty! It's so fun to find/shoot things that don't quite belong, little surprises.
another great shot
All three of you L photos in a row are impressive in their variety and your skills. Thanks!
These are gorgeous. I stumbled on wild orchids in the mountains this summer.
Delightful! When I enlarged the photo I was able to truly appreciate the immense beauty of these flowers.
Lilies? never seen them in these colors. I thought they were irises.
they are exquisite, Sue.....love the variegated strokes of color on their petals ....
wow - those are beautiful - I love the darker purple against the light!
This is so pretty.
It's so nice to sign on to the computer and find flowers as lovely as your lillies. Never seen any like them. Absolutely Beeeee-Utiful! If I was to pick a name for them - I'd call them Peacock Lillies.
I love how bright this one is!
Wow, whatever they are, these flowers are beautiful - hard to believe they're wildflowers!
they might be in the same family...they remind me of some of the markings I have seen on iris. Lovely photo.
Nice shot!
I love the "lines" shot below - good eye on that one!

Such striking beauty you caught with your camera! Nature's little great miracles. ;-)
The delicacy of these flowers is simply wonderful to see, Sue.
Love the color. Great picture.
Those lilies are lovely
Next year, I hope to have fall flowers in my yard. This year I just want to get grass :)
What beautiful and unusual flowers ! This is a gorgeous shot! -T
Beautiful, they kinda look like butterflies to me.
I'm sorry to tell you the flower is not a lily nor is it an iris. It is Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) is one of the worst weeds in the world--aquatic or terrestrial. Until only a few years ago, this floating plant was a major problem in Florida. It is illegal to grow in Florida
