Odd lily

My camera was "lost" for several days.  But I found it (underneath some files in my car) and am back in business!  When this lily is ready to bloom, it comes out of the ground as just a stem.  This was one of the surprise flowers that existed in the garden when I moved in and it took me awhile to make the connection between the bushy plant it is in the spring (and which dies off, leaving bare ground) and the late summer blossoms. The first shot is from 5 days ago; the second from today. One of the stems fell over.  It's kind of a top-heavy design for a flower!
