Silver Torch

In the previous entry, you saw stage 1 of the Silver Torch bloom. Above, you see stage 2. The green ending on the red bloom opens out to allow a tiny flower with many spokes to begin protruding from the bloom. I assume this is for pollinating purposes.

In stage 3, the tiny flower begins growing out from the bloom with the green tip still opened out.

Stage 4, the final stage, is when the green tip closes up over the tiny spoked flower so that only the flower comes out from the bloom as if it is sticking out its tongue!
