    @ Dejemonos sorprender: I'd like to see :) It may not be lotus as there's quite a huge difference between a lotus and a bristly smithia.

    @ Krisno: Thanks :)

    @ Cloudia: Mahalo from India :)

    The colors are extraordinary. And do you notice the bottom part of the flower is an upside-down heart? :=}
