Just a little something different. It is of the Lipstick tree which is also called Bixa Orellana, or Annatto. The seeds of which are used for flavouring and colouring for foods in various countries and also body paint in some tribal ceremonies.

The red and green colors are so strong and fibrant. I too like the effect used on this one. You are so right about it being used as a food coloring. One problem with that is that manufacturers who use it do not always mention that on the label. Since it is a natural colorant, manufacturers can say on their labels "all natural, no artifical colors." This is particully hard on people with who suffer dye allergies.
