An emerging beauty.....

This is an update on a post I made last week.....I`m glad to report that it is indeed a flower which is emerging & not a shrub like the last cycle. I do not smell any rotting meat odour yet so I guess it`s not officially `opened`. The novelty of it having cycles is still weird. So is the fact that it is just a single flower rising up from the soil without any leaves. Cool..
