Great spotting! Unbelievable and unique :)
Thank you all. @ Nicole. the stem is like wire and the cap is at most 3/8 inch in diameter. I have uploaded the white variety found in a similar area: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/7067137. Somewhere I have a shot of the orange variety; I'll try to find and post it also.
These are amazing! How can such a tiny stem hold the umbrella? And those colours! Wonderful spotting!
