This is Acanthus "Panama Queen" native to Panama and Brazil. Also known as orange shrimp plant. "Panama Queen - a very rare plant with extremely tropical look, fragrant flowers of unusual color combination: orange and pink." That quote is from a tropical flower site that sells these plants. I thought it had a very funky look and the wild color combo reminded me of the psychedelic colors of the 60's.

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine The Earth without art is just 'eh'.

I could see Carmen Miranda wearing this as a hat Kathy.
Unusual and beautiful flower. You captured it perfectly.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?

Brilliant colours in this beautiful blossom, such delicate pedals - I also agree with Tick about Carmen Miranda with her outrageous hats.
