I like the first one. I went to the link provided, but I didn't see this flower amongst the other pictures. Will you ask your friend if they know the name of this first flower pictured? I've never seen one like that, so I don't know if they'll grow in Zone 9B or not, but I'd like to check it out.
My gosh, they are just absolutely gorgeous! I can't believe with have such beauties on this earth! All very unique looking and the marking on the last one is incredible!
