Nice macro,Doris! I love how the flowers bloom at the stem base.You are right....patience is a necessity in nature photography. :) Congrats!

Thanks Rory. I like that too about the flowers. You don't expect them to be there. :-)

Nice shot Doris! We have some growing here and I did not realize they had flowers until now. I will have to check and see if they are blooming.

NICE! I can't believe how many things we have in common, being relatively far apart. I just took pictures last week of wild ginger in bloom. These tiny flowers that hide so well under the leaves are undiscovered jewels:>). Great image!!!! V/F

Thanks so much Carol. This (FAA) is really a good way to learn about the flora and fauna in different parts of the world now that you mention it. I knew about the well-hidden flowers so I kept looking for just the right specimen with the flowers more obvious and in the sunlight. Patience certainly is important in photography!
