This fabulous flower was on a trailing plant growing inside the Monkey House at Chester Zoo. I'm not sure what it is but it looks a bit like an Hibiscus don't you think? Anyway, have a good Friday.

Yay...I get to be the first to comment. But then, I'm not usually up at six am!!! Yuck. Steve, you might think you can't draw...but WOW..you sure can capture a very red flower! Do you know how hard it is to get the red right?!!! And look at this!!
It looks as tho it is made of velvet. The feeling is just wonderful!!! If only I could paint this!! Yet there is no way to capture this any better then you did. A Hibiscus, yes, I think so too, I drink Hibiscus tea...mmmmh...this will grace my Friday desktop...and maybe more...it is absolutely
gorgeous!! Bravo Steve...bravo..Verena

The colour is a tad overstated for me, but it's nonetheless a glorious shot. Yep, it's Hibiscus - also called Rajah's Flower.

It is undoubtedly a hibiscus, Steve. Strong red colour and sharp focus. Very fine image.

I looks like you peeled the velvet back and displayed this great stamen. Much like you would a banana. The red really looks good to me. Great post Evets.

My favourite, hibiscus. I'm late commenting but work's taking all my time, so I'll admire it for a foofy Monday.
