Ha!

#1 flower has fully recurved, I got some shots through the end where the pane of glass is missing, there is a #2 which was opening.

I tried to get some shots from inside the greenhouse, which I managed (difficult as the ground is tiptoe space), then I tried to move the #1 flower to a better position so I could get a better shot, at that point it dropped 180 degrees facing south! The stem where it joined was brown at the edge, it was leaning on the cane, and my turning the whole thing to make it fit must have damaged it. I had to lean the whole stem, it was too tall to put straight upwards.

I must take better care if I am to get any chance of seeds! So difficult, if I put it outside the whole thing would be damaged by winds.

Still, a great photo opportunity. I took several shots at all angles inside, the flash of course went off and this is where you may get the excessive red colour. I did manage one near the window, so the true colour of the flower is revealed, although the anthers are over exposed.

#1 in full light
