Just in, unique never-before-seen of the rare plant, called Fkioro Ahristoullius, attracting a member of the equally rare breed of Trihoskatofatsius Wobblofootius camels! Neither of these plant and animal species have been seen for over 100 years, but they are with us today! This stunningly simple-looking flower is so much more than it seems. It is the lifesource for these camels. It is said to flower only once every 100 years, right in the middle of the desert, against all odds. The nutritious bulb of the flower miraculously provides the C.T.W with enough energy to survive and breed until the next 100 years when this plant is supposed to flower again. This unique meal though is not for anyone. Inside, the bulb contains more toxins than anyone's stomach could handle. It is only after thousands of years of natural evolution that these marvelous creatures have come to adapt to the poison. It does still have effects on them however, in the form of the dark brown patches that are found all over their bodies. It is truly an honour to be witness to these miracles of nature.

Over and out ------------------------------ huge changes made to this over the last couple weeks. http://www.renderosity.com/photos/GAL_200401/GalleryThumb581675.JPG that's the link to the very first version if you would like to compare. the thing i'm most proud of is the flower. whatever anyone says, i exeeded my own expectations and took this further than i myself though i could. this is my first ever entry to a lightwave contest and i really hope to at least win an 'honourable mention' or something, but even if i don't, it was just so much fun working on this, even though i did stress quite a bit, as my poor girl can tell you heheh good luck to everyone else entering the contest :) --------------- if you have any comments/suggestions/questions, please make them :)
