So Beautiful! My thought before reading your title. I love the rusty orange color in the petals. If the others weren't in the background I wouldn't think this one is real.
Great find and capture Lorraine.

ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT ME? hee. I love the orange shades too, in fact its one of my favourite flowers, i tried to grow them for a boy i had a crush on a decade back, and he accidentally cut off the stem while trying to trim the leaves. Figuratively, he broke my heart at the end of the day too.:)
