Is that a bug I see in one of the blossoms? I love that, for some reason.

Fine shot, Jeffrey! Is this species really native to Malta, or was it introduced?

The dark background really brings out their purity, and I also like the off-center placement.

Are these flowers small in size? If yes then I have plenty of them at home

how relatively small are you referring to? i assume that they are 5cm in diameter at least.

No, the flowers I have are perhaps 5mm in diameter and look similar to these
