Hello flower lovers,

After 3 years the first flower.
I love this flower, it looks like plastic at first, but when it opens it looks and smells very nice.
I just don't know what the flower is called.

I have no idea. A colleague at work gave me a small offshoot 4 years ago.

The name is right, I just found it on Wikipedia.

I had no idea either, I just did an image search and that was the name that came up. (Honesty - my major flaw lol)
