@Jen: Thanks my girl!! This was the first year I bought these annuals so I don't even remember the name of them (as I of course threw out the little name thingy... to use the technical term).

Sash from Adelaide, Australia
OOOh! I'd like to see the leaf hairs sticking up on the left in greater detail. Can you do me a favour and get a macro of those?* The flower has its moments too. :D
* Purely to satisfy my curiosity.

@Sash: I'm working on it. Will try to get it posted in a few days... But remember: curiosity killed the cat. So in other words don't be disappointed!!
Sash from Adelaide, Australia
Curiosity didn't kill the cat. It's a misconception instigated by the Curiosity Society in the city closest to where you happen to be. I killed the cat. And through the help of the Curiosity Society (in the city closest to where you happen to be) we've managed to divert your attention from this fact. Please note that governments operate under a similar principle.
PS Thanks. Looking forward to it. Meeeeeeeow...

@Sash: Still working on it Sash... so don't get too thankful yet. The light hasn't been right...
Love the Curiosity Society...
