@ludwigsdiana @onewing @gilbertwood @julzmaioro @happysnaps @gamelee @elisasaeter @kwind @henrir Henri...I am not sure what they are called, but I bet it isn't petals. They are hollow tubal structures...and in the photo you can see some are in flower on the end, some are spent, and some are yet to open. So named as they look a bit like a kangaroo's paw.... Thank you everyone
