Who shoots flowers in the drizzle or rain? Well, I for one. :-) With day-lilies you shoot them when they have come out and are at their best regardless of the weather. And the light is often optimal on rainy days.
Both of these were shot in the rain, with DA* glass, tripod and my Tilley hat: Iris: http://www.flickr.com/bruce_m_walker/3574104231/lightbox/ Flower and insect in one: http://www.flickr.com/bruce_m_walker/3743921363/lightbox/ If I had a WR macro I'd use it for the smaller flowers. I'll probably get an extension tube for my DA* 50-135.
