Also sometime called flamingo flower - these grow on a shrub-like plant and are found in the eastern forest areas of Brazil. I photographed it in the tropical greenhouse at the botanic garden.

You did a good job with this one Kathy. The clarity and lighting are tops here. Beautiful plume flower.

Judging your huge collection of images taken in the botanic garden, I suppose that every inch of it is meanwhile known to you Kathy.

Perfect addition with amazing colors, enhanced by its dark background. Very well done, per usual, my friend!

A spectacular burst of colour Kathy. It reminds me of fireworks

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
