Wow, it's a really lovely flower and quite an interesting tale to go along with it. I hae never seen or heard of these before so I can be of no help in telling you the name. Thank you for these beauties, Sayed.

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.

These flowers are really beautiful, Sayed. They sort of remind me of a Christmas Cactus, except the leaves are a bit different, and the blooms do not have an aroma like the one you speak of. I would love to own such a flower. Now that I know the name of it, and can go about my search. I would love to see a close up of these blossoms, perhaps with a black backdrop. Thanks for sharing these, Sayed :)

Beautiful, undoubtably technically difficult shot. Now if you could just take a picture of the aroma... :)
