Fantastic image of this species, the intricate overlaying colours on the flower parts have been captured wonderfully. Well done Steve.

Yes, they are small but well worth having a couple hanging around the shed Bernard....if only I could grow them well like some of my mates!
Thanks for the kind words Bernard.
