Glacier Lily Portrait

Glacier Lily with Stamens
Rattlesnake National Recreation Area
Missoula, Montana

This picture clearly shows the white stamens extending from the curled back yellow petals. You have to get low to the ground to see this feature because the flowers generally hang down from their curving stems. On rare occasions, you might see a stalk with two blooms, each facing the opposite way.
