Okay, I can understand that. Good to see you found the species on this one.
ID added :)
I don't like when my spottings are named as genus, only if is unable to determinate the species...
It's no problem. I've been there too with the late night posting.
Thank you, Dan, sorry for that. I uploaded it last night and it was too late to find ID, will update the name of species a little bit later :)
Beautiful flower Jopy! I think since you know the genus, you don't have to post it as an unknown spotting.
