I like how this one looks.. it seems as if a normal map (3D) is applied and blended on the bud

good job

These are the flowers that come up from the actual Aloe plant. When it gets too cold to actually grow, these flowers/buds sprout up.

Indeed. I like the ones that have this dew inside the flowers. So pertiful. Too bad I won't get to see that since I'm back in CT.
