Thank you Jeff - unfortunately they do not last long. I went back to this spot yesterday and there were no blooms.
Thank you Debra - I wish there were more of them and that they would stick around for a while longer.
Thank you Clifford - the lighting was courtesy of dappled sunlight filtering through the canopy of branches and leaves overhead.
Not the first one I've seen in a photo, Bernie, but I can't remember seeing one in the wild. This is a good photo to show me what to look for. Very nice lighting!
Really impressive Bernie. Just seing the picture I understand that the lighted flower is the only one thing of interest here. the background is out The flower is put on a stage as a super beauty, with great details and colours. Then I read the commentary, that tell exactly what the picture says. Thanks.
Thank you Yves - the light from the sun was like a spotlight on the center of the flower and I was able to isolate it from the background.
