I captured this flower at the Harry P Leu botanical gardens in Orlando, FL last week. I need help in identifying the flower. Thanks for any critiques.

Larry, looks like to me it’s part of the gentian family. I found this link (https://wildflowersearch.org/search?oldstate=name%3AGentianaceae%3B&buttonName=none&hab=&Elev=&PlantName=&S__30014.x=110&S__30014.y=69) to one that grows in Florida. Perhaps the one you’ve photographed is a strain of this.
Thanks, Linda. Larry
Larry: While I can’t ID the specific variety this is almost certainly a day lily. The petal and especially the center structures are very similar to day lily architecture. I like your capture and your DOF/POF decisions. Most excellent. >=))>
PS: It looks like this is your first post in Flora so welcome aboard and looking forward to more.
I too thought this was a lily, but its leaves are different. Nice composition, color and sharpness of the flower. The blurred background works as well.
Eyes capturing photo. I think it is azalea or a kind of Oriental lily.
@Bill_Fach, @Patricia_Brundage, @pkamy: Thanks for your ID responses and compliments on this flower. It certainly does look like some kind of lily. And, @pkamy, as a reasonably new member of NPN, I encourage you to become a regular member. I have learned a great deal from looking at and reading comments about members’ superb photography. By posting images, one contributes to our passion for landscape photography while learning a great deal from critiques and comments. I look forward to your continued involvement in NPN. Larry
