Castleton Explored (Part I): Castleton Crown

Posted by Stunner (Kingston, Jamaica) on 25 May 2007 in Plants & Nature.

I saw this beautiful flower as I was strolling through the garden and couldn't resist a shot. I have no idea what the name of this flower is, but it reminded me of a crown hence the caption.

Hey Stunner, It's the same flower I used as my opening post. I saw it in Stony Hill but haven't been able to get it to grow by my home. Too hot I guess. Nice photo.
