NoseyPotter was saying that Heavy Metal music works the best GT. Do you have any AC/DC ?

I'm going with music and a good sitting with every day....lol. Just needs a little coaxing. :-) I just hope it holds through. I'd love to see this open up.

Thanks Mike. I just got a shot of the two flowers that finally opened all the way up. And flashed it like this one to get a truer color, this orange and the sodium light really whack each other out. :-)
