Alas, the flower was a fraud

I should be less credulous.

I noticed in the photo I'd taken the other day that the stalk in the background looked spattered, as if by paint. This morning I went back and looked at the flower again. It's closed up now, and you can clearly see where the paint hit and where it didn't.

Ah well!

Well, phew, considering the concerns raised! :)
and you're not credulous at all! You observed, recorded, considered, rechecked and are now setting the records straight. This is highly scientific, non-credulous method at work!
