Cromwell, Connecticut, USA. Our eighty-year old trumpet vine is quite large. These red flower clusters draw hummingbirds several times each day. When they go for the nectar, the little birds can nearly disappear in the flower. Enjoy!

Beautiful shot Thad. Very well composed. The hummingbirds love this one too and in this color as well.

You captured these flowers very well Thad. The DoF is very good. I like the dark colors and the focus is really clear.

Amazing flower shot! I wonder if we can grow them in the midwest? I'd love to attract hummers. Clarity and color are superb.

Thad...

This is your post photo work at its apex. The composition is well balanced, the colors are vivid and pure. The texture and color are beyond exquisite. The clarity and detail and beyond reproach. I will tell you how much I like this shot. I would give it a 10 in the VB, and it's a FLOWER!!!!!
