I'm sorry, I don't know the name. It has 2 spikes in flower now, and has very, very fine white spots (points) in the center (almost invisible from the distance). In fact, is a little lighter than in the pictures. Interesting: in the natural light the flowers look darker and vice versa in the artificial light.

Another comment, more for Nico, I like the artistic feel of the images you have posted. I presume that is your regular style. I am used to documenting flower/plant detail that will be useful in publications. Moody doesn't sell very well, most of the time. I also prefer the images with the lightest backgrounds because they are not as under-exposed as the dark ones

Hi rsfrid! Moody?

I am not sure for the translation.
Yes, different styles, and you are professional and I take photos for fun.

Nico, "moody" is like "expression". For instance you can create a mood that says quiet, or peaceful, or vibrant, or uneasy, or whatever you want. Your work is very beautiful, something a person would hang on the wall and look at over and over. Mine is more for text books where students have to look at a photo and be able to tell what plant that is. See the difference? Have fun with your pictures - I see you are quite advanced in photography.

Nico - I like your use of negative space.
