Ready to pop'

Amazing how the Gum flower opens. The top lid seem to pop off to reveal the petals and stamens. It looks like a little umbrella. Still trying to get used to my Raynox 150 macro lens.

I agree, it almost looks like it has a little paper drinks umbrella at a jaunty angle on the side there. The flower looks ready to explode like a firework!
