This is a Sinningia speciosa that is going to rebloom in the middle of winter for no other reason, than perhaps it feels like it.
Nice to get the bright color and fun of watching it open when the weather was giving the landscape 20 inches of snow. See? There IS a reason for taking all the time to keep the flowers and plants...
The photo was taken only a little while after the first photo. It apparently doesn't take a Sinningia all that long to open the blossom when it's time to do so.
This was about four hours after the first picture. It's almost all the way open now. It happened to be around mid-day.
Look at the cool pattern inside this flower. I's spots and pattern must be quite seductive to something, and notice that while the purple petals are quite opaque, the center seems to be much more translucent and lets in enough light to sort of highlight the pistils and stamen.
Once again, comment by hitting the little link right under the post! Thanks....
