thank you so much kelly! you are so sweet <3 i love the second one too - it is my favorite out of the three. i loved the flower so much that i took a whole roll of film from different angles and hopefully will have some more to show everyone next week. the smell of the flower is AMAZING! <3
it smells like a mix of a sweet "typical" flowery smell and something tropical, like pineapple. it sort of smells like my favorite lotion, which is "pressed flowers" by mary kay. my mom and her mom and her grandmother always called it a "babe in a manger" but that is not the real name. my photography teacher said he thinks it is a "cirrus" flower. I think that is how I spell it. I need to look up more about it. I can't believe the flowers don't smell very strong. During the springtime, when I walk around the yeard, at various locations I am hit hard by the smell of flowers. One out front is called a "butterfly bush" and it attracts butterflies because of its highly scented flowers. Also, the lavender and lilac bushes in my yard are so lovely... you can smell them when you are twenty feet away! <3
The top pic looks like Lotus, but I dunno, since I don't even know where they grow. They are the flowers at the end of The Mummy Returns, that go flying into the pyramid. Also if anyone plays magic, they're on cards like, Black Lotus, Lotus Vale, Lotus Petal, and so forth.

i used to play magic when i was younger because my boyfriend played and he taught me how. you are right, it does look sort of like a lotus flower. it is actually a cirrus flower that only blooms once a year for 8 hours.
maybe they're in the same family sort of thing? I just saw a pretty flower, and saw something about it only being inbloom for 8 hours, and I know Lotus are rare... i really wish i were smarter :-/ anyways, did you want to learn, or did he make you learn? lol
