How exciting to get a shot of a blossom that blooms only once a year.
ReplyDeleteFabulous macro shot!! What a great find!
ReplyDeleteI'm waiting for mine to appear for the very first time. I've had the plant for over a year now and it's been a very slow grower. Your photo makes me even more keen to see mine flower.
ReplyDeleteExquisite blossom, lovely colors and a terrific capture! Thanks for sharing the beauty! Hope you have a wonderful week!

ReplyDeleteAnu, thanks for your comment. I tried to leave a comment on your blog, but I was unsuccessful.
ReplyDeleteWow, that is beautiful. How long does that stay open if it only blooms once a year?
ReplyDeleteDoes it have a specific season or can the blooms appear all year long? It is so beautiful, I'd want them always!
