Christmas colors but taken in Kauai - an unusual style of flower but common in Hawaii in both this form and the upside down version. This one picked up a visitor right as I shot. All comments and critiques appreciated.

Pretty (tropical) Christmas colours. Nice details in this hot looking bloom.

Criticism, like rain, should be gentle enough to nourish a man's growth without destroying his roots. — Frank A. Clark

A very appropriately named and very beautiful plant.
Well captured Kathy - I love the brilliant red.
Happy New Year to you and yours

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
