Wow, this almost looks like one of those concoctions whipped together by Larry (razorjack51) or Frankie (Frankief). But it's real, isn't it? This is one of the most dazzling and intriguing floral close-ups I've ever seen.

Thanks for your comments! Yeah, it is real. I was walking in my neighborhood and saw the flower a couple weeks back. I thought it might have wilted already when I went to take the shot again, but no, it was as beautiful as ever, so I stole a shot from the neighbor´s garden, and even though it could be sharper, I am pretty happy with the result. I took it really quickly trying to get out of there as soon as I could! Funny situation that turned out okay.
Again, thanks for your comments.
