The flower is on the Bush Pearl Kangaroo Paw. I don't have a full picture myself but have a look at this site for one: http://anpsa.org.au/a-bpearl.html The kangaroo paws are fascinating plants.

I do love Praying mantis, but what I got really enchanted by was the color of that flower. If only you could share that also with us... Maybe in the future :-) Thanks.
