PACHYSTACHYS COCCINEA - that's the botanical name for this striking red flower. It's about 5" tall and a wonderful red shade. Seen at the tropical greenhouse of the botanic garden. My Fx2 for this week.
Smile, without a reason why. Love, as if you were a child, Smile, no matter what they tell you Don't listen to a word they say Cause life is beautiful that way. (From the film "Life Is Beautiful")
Kathy, if I was living in your area, know for sure that I had visited the botanic garden frequently because it has brought us already so much beauty. Of course your excellent photographic skills are very helpful to achieve this result. So let me say: 'The botanic garden and you have performed a perfect match!'
