Hi Shrikant ji... lovely pic indeed. This species is new to me...the floral arrangement is peculiar. Well...your experience of taking pics of this flower is really funny, and it reminds me of an incident when I was trying to take pictures of Barn Owl perched on the neighbour's terrace during my visit to a friend's house. The bright flash caught the attention of an old lady, and she started shouting at us from the window.....we somehow convinced her that we were taking snaps of the Barn owl. But she thought we had gone crazy, and closed the windows fast, and finally we took few nice snaps. It was indeed a nice experience of wildlife photography.
