I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    #2 looks awesome. On #1 the focus looks off. You cannot clearly see the fuzz / spikes of the pedals as you can see on #2.

    My mother used to have one on the front porch when we were kids.

    The flower clusters almost look fake till you touch them and realize they are real flowers.

    I prefer the second shot too thumb.gif .... Skippy :D

    Hi JPL...

    Thanks for the comment. The first blossom was not as well developed as the second and didn't have all the fine detail. I have deleted it.

    Hi Skippy,

    The plant is known as a Wax Plant here as well. The " Hindu Rope " name is a colloquial one in these parts. Thanks for your input.
