[Richard Shears]

Spectacular - looks like you've used special lighting to illuminate the centre of this incredible flower, but i'm guessing it's just the work of Mother Nature, all on her own (and you as the photographer, of course!)

[Denise]

@richardshears You are absolutely correct that this is mother nature's doing. I just knew when I took this photo that it was going to be awesome. It was an amazing sight. No special lighting involved.
