Azzaro, I have the privilage of seeing such beautiful flowers on the 2006 SmugMug/Dgrin Post Photo Shoot.

I had never seen them before, and I was amazed at the size and colour of these flowers..... also the size of the needles surrouding them :D

I thought it was interesting how they closed when the sun was going down,
and opened as the sun got higher.

I know other flowers do this too, but I actually saw some of these during various stages of opening.

A lovely little cluster you've captured here :clap ... Skippy :D
