Title: Guess what this is 21 NOW SOLVED
Post by: John on October 31, 2011, 11:22:14 PM
A not dissimilar one to guess what this is 20! At least in the sense that it could be obvious but it probably is not.
Added later:
And if you want to jump ahead, you can see a picture of the whole flower if you click here (http://www.mgsforum.org/smf/index.php?topic=505.msg4431#msg4431)!
