Love the name.

'sometimes deadly'
Does that mean it's poisonous.

Love how you captured it close up.

Some of them definitely are poisonous. This particular one has flowers so large all I had to do was the the lens close enough. No macro needed.

Victorian collectors of flowers used to keep some hidden away because they would inflame a delicate female who looked on them; this would inflame archivists because it looks like two people having sex under a duvet... well, maybe squint a little? *just me huh*

Oh, it does, it does. Very sexy flower.
