Very nice:) Looks like Australian colours of aborigeens. Why did you say that it was "old pollen"? How do you do the difference between old and fresh pollen?:))))

Thanks Kat, this flower has been out for about 8 days and is very dark in colour where fresh pollen is lighter :-)

I see. Thank you for explanation. IsnĀ“t the life of a pollen fantastic. When growing old, it just changes the colour. And then gives a start up to the sky as a huge tree :)))

yes Kat, Life and nature it's all fascinating :-)
