Saturday I was at the Botanical Gardens and found this lovely in bloom. Sorry that I don't know what kind of flower it is but thought I would share it with you.

Most of my shots did not turn out so well as I did not use my tripod! Shame on me!Lol! But I also went to the festival of trees next door and it was too crowded!

Thank you for your comments either pro or no! :) =^..^= sandi ♪

This was before your time but it took me back. It seems to fit with your post today. Gorgeous coloring Tigz. Very nice work.

I like this. If you're going to take pictures of flowers, then lots of colour is a must, and fancy petals always catch the eye. Yep, you got the lot.

Beautiful shot Sandi and a great title for it. I too think it is the bloom of a Christmas Cactus.

Well, if that's not a "peppermint Twist", it missed it's calling. Like it.

Sandi, it does look like fine Christmas candy. With or without a tripod, you did very well.

This reminds me of the peppermint ribbon candy we see at Christmas. Yummy! Very nice shot of the foofy, Sandi.

Now that's a lovely name for this Christmas classic! What a great macro of this pretty zygocactus, Sandi. I like the peppermint candy border as well. :)

Reminds me of these hard xmas candys my mom buys every year.
I cant remember the name of them. I'm going to have to ask her next time I talk to her. They are so good, and this picture quite lovely
