Nice one, I love flowers. And I love presenting flowers to my other half. So I would like to take this opportunity to wish a lovely Int. Women Day to everyone here!
Sadly I don't have any camera gear so I took this picture (like all of them) with my mobile phone. Below you can see the 3 different stages of this flower, which I tried to capture. From right to left: it's still green dormant state, next to that it's start to open up and get a nice color, after that the flower in full-bloom. This was taken in a small park in Taipei, Taiwan.
