These looked like little mini pumpkins to me so I decided to post them around Halloween. They are also known as pocketbook plant. All comments and critiques appreciated.

We can buy them here in a pot to put in the window sill. We call them "Slipper flower". They do brighten up the dark Days in the Winter. This is a very good closeup shot with great details and colors.

Love these pretty little flowers. Look like pretty little purses. Hard to get them to grow here for some reason...
