I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?

This would make Georgia O'Keeffe get out her paint brushes, Jeff. Beautiful photograph! Wonderful focus, color, lighting, and angle.

A couple interesting facts about this plant:
--that red leaf is just that, a colored leaf. The actual flowers on the anthurium (and there are many) are those tiny white nubs on the stamen tower... at least a hundred of them.
--it grows very high in the canopy of jungle trees in Central America, and acquires its food and water by dropping a long main root all the way down to the jungle floor, sometimes as far as 100 feet!
A nice capture, by the way. I've seen a number of these and have found the yellow tip on the stamen to be rather uncommon.

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.
