Blauwe Gember

Dichorisandra thyrsiflora -- Blue Ginger; Brazilian Ginger

Blue Ginger is a wonderful tropical plant which resembles ginger in growth and
habit, but is actually a relative of the Wandering Jew plant. The plant is native to the
tropical woodlands of Central and South America. Of the family Commelinaceae they
are cultivated for their striking blue flowers.

This one is actually growing in my living room :)

Wow, it looks like a painting. Would you mind sharing your technique to achieve this look? :-)

Very nice subtle shadings in the colors, a good choice of subject and light.

Not much I can say that hasn't already been said by others, Hans. Very special image capturing the intense blues. Nice job with the lighting also!
