Well, it certainly caught the spotlight, which gives this a special flavor all its own. I should know this one..it came up here not that long ago, but I don't remember. Thanks for this little beauty :)

Gorgeous Brian and i can see why you chose to take a shot. I have tried to get one of this lovely flowers before but it, did not turn out that well. Very nice choice for a post. ><

Good lighting and a nice closeup of what looks to be a lantana, which has very small individual flowers. We use them here in southern Arizona as landscaping, they're available in many colors; and some butterflies like them. They stay green year round but they tend to spread into everything via the roots. Apparently in their native India, they grow like weeds!?

They are Latanas. I have a bunch of them growing in pots in my driveway. They amaze me with all the various colors within the same bloom. You should see the colors I have sitting in my driveway. They are hard to photograph for some reason. I have tried many times and always failed. Yours in the best capture I have seen of the. Nice.

Gorgeous picture of these great flowers Brian - the lighting is lovely, and gives them a warm glow.
Apparently this plant is used to treat snake bites !
Great job!
