I wanna bloomin' higher than the next flower

I took this photo of the blackberry lily including not only the flowers but also the leaves at the place where several stocks of it were growing naturally in my mother's garden.
The blackberry lily had relatively long leaves, which grew with being lined up like a fan, so it didn't feel so small for me.
Even so, its flower stalks grew further to bloom flowers at the highest tips.
Moreover, it bloomed one by one flower as if it wanted to show the petal pattern clearly.
The flower finished its role in a day, its petals became a twisted shape as if it too-hurriedly closed.
And, the blackberry lily opened next flower as if it wanted to bloom flowers higher even if only slightly than the next flower stalks.

隣の花より高く

母の庭の中でもヒオウギが複数株自生している場所で、花だけでなく葉も一緒に写した１枚です。
１枚ごとの葉も比較的長く、それが扇子のような形に並んでいて、ヒオウギの株は小さいとは感じません。
ですが、花茎はそこからさらに長く伸び、最も高くなる先端に花を咲かせます。
それも、まるで花弁の模様をはっきり見せつけるように１輪ずつ。
花は１日でしぼみますが、慌てて閉じたかのように花弁はちりちりと捻れた形になります。
そして、少しでも高く、隣の花茎の花よりも高くと言わんばかりに、次の花を開くのです。
