This is a new one on me. I have never seen one of these, to my recollection. Very beautiful work on this. Great focus and composition. Outstanding color too.
This is a most unusual flower - I've not seen it before. Terrific shot with great textures and a good blur for the background, I like your shot choices very much.
I recieved one in a bouquet one time. I hung it upside down and it lost its color but dried architecturally perfect. I just remember having to put newspaper under it because it dripped like a bleeding alien as it dried. Lovely to see it live and growing
