Full bloom
One of my buds opened today and is in full bloom. Surprisingly, it does not open all the way but looks more like an inverted orange umbrella that got stuck at the halfway point. My spherical shaped stamens give off a tantalizing essence. My gardener did not tell his crewmates about this and kept me all to himself.
Full bloom in space; a splash of living orange in a machine of machines
This is as far as I can open; like an umbrella stuck at the half way point
