asakiyumeI 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!

And thanks, re: my credulity. I guess I was diligent, but I wish I had been before I deluged all my social media outlets with the picture. But I guess having people along for the adventure of discovery is pretty good, too.
