All my friends thought this was a plastic flower :)
The "hairy" flowers are sweetly scented and produce abundant nectar.
Thank you so much for taking your time to visit and comment on my photographs. It is greatly appreciated! :)

Oh my! I did not have seen this flower since my childhood! It was in my bedroom and became allergic !
I had all the time "running nose" and I sneezed ten times every morning until the plant was taken away from the room !
But it is beautiful like a thick velvet!
