A plant that grows from a rhizome and originated in the Andes mountains of South America. Now used in the floral industry for a winter flowering houseplant. The flower is about 3.5" in diameter. My Fx2 for this last week of February.

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?

I'm mesmerized by your weekly Foofy Friday contribution, Kathy.
The reasons for that are:
-very special colors;
-a good composition;
-last but not least your presentation because of the proper use of the vignetting principle.

Perfectly done, my friend!

Gloxinia is one of my favorite flowers and purple is my favorite variety. Very lovely image with the vivid colors and softness.
