User's notes

Photos 1 to 4: this flower opened as I watched. I'd noticed some flowers nearby then noticed a flower in bud, which I didn't photograph. I then noticed that it was beginning to open. Just moments later the sun had moved and it was once again in shade. Amazing, though the photo don't reflect this.
