Hi Al. First image I looked at today and I see that other flower of yours post waiting for me as well. Knew they were both yours. That's a compliment. You find such unique flora to capture. This is another high quality one with awesome contrast that gets another 10 from me. ;)
I saw your later post first and my reaction was (as Rove would say) "what the?".
Now I know "what the....".
I hadn't realised the paucity of my own knowledge of indigenous flora!
Keep posting - I'm still learning!
Agree with ninjatabby (and am in awe of her wonderful alliteration effort to match your title) on the beauty of this shot, Al. Great work and top marks. :)
