  Outstanding (as always), Stanley, I love the coloring, the crop, the effects, and the bg and framing. Very well done (as usual) , my dear friend, I'm glad to see that you haven't lost your touch or any of the charming way you present floral masterpieces - your dear friend, Allan

  Many thanks, Isabel, Dan, Pu, and Allan for your feedback and time to stop and comment, which is always appreciated. This plant is just a couple of feet tall and growing in a very large pot where it will stay for quite some time. There are a number of buds on another branch, and the blossoms are wonderfully fragrant.
Much Aloha,
Stan
