Same plant as Texture / In Black & White only a different specimen. A rare find as fair as leaf quality not being damage due to insects. To achieve images of this species flower(s) in peak form you have to be there the morning as close to first light of the night they bloom. I chose to cropped this image due the plants isolation and the mixed lighting conditions.

A beautiful image. I like the way you captured the texture in the white petals. I discovered this flower last year when I spotted a group of them in a nearby neighbors from yard. They are remarkably photogenic.
