But not purplish...more of a ruby with an orange cast. Anybody have any idea what you'd call this color?

I do. It's called beautiful! I love the way you singled out the bloom with the lighting and that is such an exciting shade of red. It looks like this is some variety of cactus or succulent and in truth, I don't think I've seen one before, but I'm glad I have now.

A beautiful and graceful bloom you have captured there. Very nice! Crimson works, or perhaps a burnt redish orange.

I'd call it Scarlett McOrange. It's too beautiful for just one name. Coming from the Old Country adds a little mystique. Your flower looks somewhat sad like Cindy's Zyco. Maybe they miss the butterflies. Just a great shot here PJ.

Chinese lantern red? That's what it makes me think of. It's positively glowing. You did wonders with this, the light is fantastic and the colours soooo deep. I know, why not indulge yourself - call it PJ Ruby.
