An extremely attractive flower. I could see myself spending some time photographing it :)

Jakov, thanks for commenting.

The flower in these three images is the identical one which quite strongly drew my attention possibly because of its perfect condition and the particular lighting cast on it.

The third shot nicely contrasts the natural form of the plant with the human-created grid pattern.  Hmmm...could be a theme in this...

Keith, thanks for sharing your interpretation.

The order of the images follow the actual order of shooting, which could have been the process of finding the best way to represent this particular flower...

Thaks, Armando.  I tend to want to leave larger space in the area to which the flower is directed.
