I don't know what this is, but it looks to me, to be wearing a crown. It was at the Toledo Zoo. Thanks for the comments and views.

I don't know what it is either JimBob. An unusual, but pretty foofy. It is difficult to tell if it is starting to bloom, past its bloom, or at its peak.

It's really foofy this King and beside this the picture reflects the high level standard Jim is able to release.

It's a good thing it's in the zoo. This thing looks wild! A good pick for Foofy Friday. I love it!

Very strange to me Jim.
I've never seen one before.
Sort of reminds me of a Pineapple.......don't ask me why! LOL.
Thanks for sharing.

It looks good enough to eat Jimbob, that's why I'm commenting on this foofy cause I'm hungry. Anyone got some maple syrup ?

I think it is a Jalapeno-Pineapple JimboB. They are all the rage on the Island. They make a volcano look frosty.
They are on the endangered list so don't bother it.
Go Ohio State vs USC.

It is a rare bloom from the crimson poohbah bush. It takes about four years to get even one bloom. The flintstones named their exhaulted leader of a club after it. Nice close in shot.

Think Tick has created a cross-breeding in his mind from a jalapeno and a pineapple. Was searching for its proper name, but couldn't find it. So think you have to take your car Jimbob and drive to the Toledo zoo again to ask for it. Hope however that they know its name. Wonderful F² post, my friend.

Neat-O Jimbo! It looks like a king, but somehow I am reminded of a bell boy too. Remember those. A most unusual post, but perfect for foofy Friday.

I think it's some ladies gorgeous hat. Why she went off and left it I don't know. Maybe you should have taken it to the lost and found. YOu never know, there might have been some reward.

That's one wild lookin' flower, Jimbo. I hope they keep it caged. I wouldn't want it running around loose. Good colour and detail in this unusual capture. Saved.

Ha, Ha!! I like your name for this strange looking flower and I think probably better than its real Latin name. I dont know what its name is, but King Foofy it is from now on in my book! Love the colour and shape - well spotted and well done!
