The first one does it for me, definitely.

Thanks.The first one really does display its naughty bit well, if I say so myself!

Is that some sort of flycatching plant then...?

jams o donnell said...

Actually it isn't. It was discovered on the walls of Nottingham Castle and being night scented it attracts nocturnal insects like moths

What a curious flower, I love the first shot.

It really is lovely isn't it. Then again the best things come in small packages!

I've not seen one of these before, either. And the first one is my favourite too. Those curly naughty bits! Oooh!
