A focal length of 400 mm and a wide aperture was used for this shot to keep the plant in sharp focus while letting everything else go out of focus.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Isn't this the most magnificent lily you've ever seen? It's a Michigan or Turk's-cap lily, Lilium michiganense. When I arrived at the prairie one evening in the early summer of 2000, I saw this patch of orange at the west side of the prairie. As I got closer, I realized that this lily had more flowers on it than I had ever seen on one plant before. I think it puts cultivated varieties to shame.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Prairie dock, Silphium terebinthinaceum  (say that five times fast). I think prairie dock is a very photogenic plant. It's large basal leaves show an intricate network of veins when lit from behind. From the flower here, it's obvious that prairie dock is related to the sunflower. I purposely shot this photo using a wide aperture on a telephoto lens to produce an image with the flower and buds in sharp focus, but a background that is out of focus.]]></description>
