Those are beautiful fushia blossoms. Be careful. From experience, birds like to nest in them, especially if they are protected as on a porch. Beautiful capture, Doug.
I have no idea but it looks like others know what they are. The flower is so beautiful and the color excellent! A gorgeous and superb composition Dougie!
This photo seems to me to have a " Victorian" feel to it.. it is so beautiful - the softness of the overall scene and the dark green sets off that wonderful fuschia color! What a wonderful scene to have on your porch! Do you have any Hummingbirds around? They would love these.
Always remember - Follow the Yellow Brick Road, it will lead you to OZ and the Emerald City. A very nice place to live. Trust me on this one, I live there. The Lion **** MY CAEDES GALLERY****Another Site I'm AT - MY DA HOME PAGE
Th lighting is lovely giving a muted and yet true colour to these frilly fuschias. I like how you have cropped it. I have one near my back porch - wish I could get a shot even half as beautiful as this :)
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. . . . . . . . . .. . . .
