Colorful, ornamental, fascinating and sinister.. the petals remind me of teeth. I've watched a lot of bad sci-fi movies in my time.. Which hopefully explains why I immediately thought of Little Shop of Horrors when I saw this. This plant is very much.. alive. Won't question whether it talked, I'm sure it did!

Thank you very much for the compliments Tomasz, Brent, Abs, Neo and Aam!! I am glad that you liked it!! Didn't hope this to come out so well at all. Personally I would have prefered this one to be shot at 100asa, but the diffused light at dusk was fast falling and most quitos were becoming restless in the evening breeze plusI didn't have a stand with me either. Given all this I am pretty happy to get what I have here :)

Thanks COAmature! I guess you could see it then, so something must have happened after that sometime as its not visible any more :( I can't see this image anymore, however a version I uploaded with frame in pending shows up properly. Does anyone know why it does not show up?
