Heliconia

Posted by Stunner (Kingston, Jamaica) on 21 September 2007 in Plants & Nature and Portfolio.

Yes that's the name, I actually looked it up online and found the name of this beautiful orange flower. It is somewhat related to the Red Ginger and Torch Ginger flowers. This is another photo I took while experimenting with my newly acquired macro lens.

Sorry for the impromptu absence, but I'm back again. Thank's for all the comments on my previous posts.
