It seems I left a few amateur botanists and my favorite farrier hanging after the prior posts. Naughty! So below is video of the initial opening of the flower and what transpired during the viewing party. The first shows little; you have to really watch. Then I charged my phone so there’s a big gap before the final push. Modern tymes, how you alternately delight and vex!
A still of the inner workings. It’s like a magical wonderland in there, as someone noted, and smells divine.
And there you have it, Mr. Platt.
