Wow, Lee, great colours and fab shot… (must admit when i first saw the thumb nail i thought it was langoustines strung up, just the colour and the black looked like eyes, so obviously not tho when i get a better look….so need my eyes tested lol !!

tried to grow these in the UK without success – they look like an alien life-form and to me, are so unusual – Well photographed Leeo.

Cheers Graham, they certainly are unusual!

I love the black sheen you captured on these amazing flowers. Background looks good too.
I think a langoustine is some sort of lobster.
