You're right, it is quite beautiful. I remember as a child pulling the little petals and tasting the nectar... Although now that I think about it, I can't imagine any kids doing that nowadays.
Oh, my...you are right it is truly uncommon. I remember eating the nectar from the flowerings...In fact, I taught Malaya to do so a year or so ago--it is nice to pass on those wonderful old traditions!
Ooohhh!!!! I love that second shot!!!
