Re: Whatzit?
Does resemble the ones we just brought in cuttings of today. The purple ones, not the aromatic white ones...
What if lollipops moaned every time we licked them?

Rosey Posey?

Made it race against time.

Re: Whatzit?
Closest image map I have found was for a dwarf crested iris but Wayne has ruled iris and orchid out. The photo isn't clear enough for a clear petal count but I tried 5 and 6 petal purple flowers. An outlier was a member of the gladiolus family. The stock photo's aren't that close up.

A couple of hints...
1) Typically trumpet shaped flowers with white corolla and yellow fused anthers, mottled inside, arranged in terminal clusters, petal colors ranging from white to pink to deep lavender, light fragrance, pollinated by carpenter bees.
2) And here is the carpenter bee that pollinates it.

Re: Whatzit?
Check this out. Nothing to do directly with Whatzit but it is incredibly cool and is related in terms of image capture/display

Stumbled on this on BBC news web site. The article discusses the painting and how the digital image(s) were captured. I've seen Rembrandt paintings at the DIA and other museums but you are never allowed to get so close to see these amazing details. The author provides insights into the how/why of the painting as well.
