Glad you gave us the latin name, thought they were fake (only kidding :o))) ). Never seen frilly flowers.
This is a very good picture, sharp with soft lighting.

Wow, what unusual and gorgeous looking flowers...How special that the flowers open up for only a single day. Lucky for us that you were able to capture them so beautifully. Thank you for sharing this. :)

I love these violet furry flowers - they are so vivid and interesting. The photo is well focused which wasn't really that easy as you have decided to present a group of flowers. I wish the photo was a little bit brighter though...

If you admire nature for its creations why don't you visit the gallery of its reporter...

Fantastic flower, great capture. I'm glad you got it in time. I actually like the darker presentation. It somehow fits this mysterious beauty.

Unusual looking flower, but very beautiful as is your capture of these blooms. I like the off center focus. Awesome shot.
