'Humboldt Lily' is the actual name of this flower, but they always remind me of the treasure of some fabulous Faery Queen, especially when I come across one deep in the woods like this one. As I pushed aside thick cedar branches, I saw this lily dancing in the breeze, looking as though it was placed there on purpose as a lantern to brighten up the green shadows and lend some sparkles to the water. I could swear I saw a glow coming from it when, a little way down the narrow path that only I and the forest animals use, I turned to look back at it. A bit of forest magic on a mundane day...
It does indeed look like a fairy treasure. I love it when things like this appear as I roam the woods around my house.
