Susie Q, back from having fun in Orlando are you???? Well, I've been talking about you and your treatment of your chids again...... just thought you'd want to hear it from me rather than someone else...
Those are actually some of the best echinolabium photos I've seen. Great fly pictures!! And the form and colour of the flower looks enticing to me. Maybe I was a fly in a past life. I love flowers that stink. I had Stapelias bloom for me and didn't find it so bad. Even took a good whif of on in the wild, didn't get offended. Maybe my smeller isn't that good.
