Red is always beautiful in flowers no matter the season. Great clear photo with excellent coloring. Love the framing. Sounds like it would show up nicely there today if you could find it.
Good post PJ

Is it a morning glory masquerading as a poinsettia? I like these better, there's something about poinsettia's that I find a bit sinister. Different take on Christmas colours here, I like it.
