    It’s certainly a pop of colour, Paula. I’ve never seen anything like it before. What is it? A type of flower?

      Yes, a flower on a tree, I am not sure what tree it was, but will find out.

        Ah, well, whatever type it is, it’s spectacular. And stunningly presented.

        I detect a note of … something there: if you’re wondering why I haven’t entered in the last Sunday’s non-challenge, it’s because I don’t have anything to enter it with !

          Yes, I was being cheeky with you. I take liberties some times: I have been checking on you on reader and seeing that everything is fine, I did not enter to give you more attention at the time, but I did not forget about you. I am just trying to find a way to give my hand a rest. I am not peeved about challenge. All is well on my side 😉

    I love a pop of colour, Paula! There’s something faintly sinister about this plant, beautiful though it is. And I’m always a slave to love 🙂

      Btw, it is a live concert by Roxy Music, in Glasgow, 1983 (Bryan Ferry).

    It a jewel, Paula, and wonderful macro-photography. You are a genius at responding to challenges too. “Pop of colour” would’ve stopped me.

      Hello Meg 🙂 I found it in the same botanical garden you visited 🙂 . This photo 101 is an important event for me – I committed to see if I am able to start and finish something at this point of my life with all the obstacles. My Portuguese blog has suffered days of silence, but will remedy it too. I saw you are taking fabulous walks and enjoying the weather. The nature at your place looks fascinating.

      “It’s a jewel” – never change the construction of a sentence without careful proof-reading. I love the thought that I have been in the garden where you saw it..
