Oh what a shame Carol :-( I have had this one for quite a long time now and this is the first winter that it has had more than one stem of flowers (oh, and the flowers smell too, what a bonus). I really have trouble photographing the red ones though and have tried this one many times, even with my flash, but until I get my diffuser for the flash its too harsh. As I was at home today and the light on that window was reasonable I was able to get a better shot of it.
