Oh of course it's in my faves, Kristof. It's exceptionally well done, but then so many of your works are. No complaints here, only thanks :)

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

Oh my goodness! This is breathtaking and just magnificient Thank you once again for such loveliness. If you would allow me, I would one day love to do a canvas painting of this...It is one of my most favorite flowers to do a painting of. The colours are so wonderful...I have a file with the photos I have saved to do paintings of, and I hope you will let me keep this one in there also...Verena
