I found this in a a corner in the tropical greenhouse at the botanic garden. I could not find any identification for it but thought it was so pretty. I tried some of my favorite sources online but still couldn't identify it. So if anyone knows what it is .. .. .. P.S. Thanks to Constance this is now identified as Pink Cestrum, native to Mexico and a member of the nightshade family

I wish I could help you on the name Kathy, but I can't. I will say you did a great job on the color capture. tigs=^..^=

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
Looks a bit like Christmas Cactus, but Connie will know for sure.

Long before the white man and long before the wheel, when the dark green forests were too silent to be real. Lightfoot 1967
I'm glad you found those hidden beauties Kathy. They just speak Valentine's Day to me even if they are not roses.

Life's moments are sweet. I just want to capture all that I can of them.
You are the botanist here Kathy. If you don't know then none of us will.Lovely color on these tropical flowers.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
Kathy, although I'm not quite sure, perhaps it could be one of the species of a Cuphea because of some similarities.
Anyhow a splendid image, my friend.

This flower is so beautiful! I love the coral color and the star-shaped ends. This image brings out its true loveliness.
I was able to locate the name. It's Cestrum elegans var. smithii - Pink Cestrum. It's of the Nightshade family and from Mexico.

I've said in an earlier PM to Kathy (in similar words) that perhaps Connie could offer the 'solution', and she did. For that reason my compliments go to Connie!

This should surely be framed for a wall canvas...so lovely and eye catching!

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'.
A gorgeous burst of colour Kathy, beautifully focused and a very graceful flower.
Did you know it had an offensive daytime smell but is fragrant at night?
Despite its beauty is is classed as a weed in New Zealand. It is extremely toxic to both humans and animals.

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
Very interesting looking plant but truly beautiful - such lovely colours and looks so delicate
