Rolled-Up Rusty Popcornflower Stem

[best appreciated at full size against black]

A couple of weeks ago, I posted pictures of the lovely Rusty Popcornflower. I mentioned that the flowers unfurl from a long, rolled stem that I think is really cool! As promised, here is a picture to show you what a budding Popcornflower looks like as it begins to unroll! Isn't that neat? :D
