Shrimp Plant

I remember my Mom growing this plant when I was a kid. It just started blooming.
The white is the flower, and the red parts are the bracts. The hummingbirds really love it.

Petesie, I 've had the white and the pink ones of these, but never the red. Neat.!

This is great! I love the color! BTW did you know that the weekly challenge this week on photosday.net is RED? This would be perfect! Take Care!

Kind of looks like a little shrimp-the red is spectacular. You gonna have some fun getting the hummer to sit still for a second, can't wait!

I've never seen this flower before! Wonderful! I like this perspective, too. The sky works so well with the red and green in the plant. Nice one, Petesie.
