Cheating

Today is miserable: raining, gusty winds (up to 50kph), and freezing cold. Not literally but relatively freezing - for the height of summer; in Australia; in the driest state in the driest continent (South Australia). 
Know I won't get a lot of sympathy from northern hemisphere Blippers - and fair enough, too - but with an overly-optimistic forecast maximum of 19C, and equivalent Feels-like temperatures of 7C or 8C, we're not exactly basking in the sunshine here.
Indeed, as I write, the outdoor chairs are (literally) being blown from one side of the deck to the other.
The prospect of venturing out into the garden for today's Blip pic is not at all enticing, so I've selected one from a day or two ago, when the sun was shining and all was well.
Potato flowers always look pretty good on the vine, but really shine when backlit by that hot yellow disc thingie in the sky. You can see how the overlapping sections of the circular array of petals form the outline of a perfect 5-petal star - like a flower within a flower. Neat trick.
