It is definitely a Gea Heptagon. I found almost an identical photo on-line. Thanks Alice for all your support and compliments. I love this site especially so I can upload all 65 (so far) of my unusual yet beautiful spiders. (I use to not like spiders.)

I know you want to ID the spider, but could you tell me the name of the flowers? They are very beautiful.
