Wow, super amazing! Never seen a white & yellow one so close-up - the white tips on the yellow looks great.

Great close up shot, Graham. I've been shooting a lot at the Missouri Botanical Garden and I've found that flowers are not the easiest things to capture well. Beautiful shot!

@Ron: Thanks Ron. I find closeups of flowers quite hard as well, this one was taken an midday with the sun almost overhead, which led to the interesting bright colours.
