Thursday Challenge What takes your fancy - 20

As you could probably guess, what takes my fancy these days is
usually out in the garden, especially now it's spring down here.
This Epiphyllum ackermanii opened up today, the first of many
to follow as we have several large hanging pots with them in.

Canon EOS 40D ,Tamron SP AF 90mm f/2.8
1/100s f/2.8 at 90.0mm iso400 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

I'm with you. The only problem is I'm on the threshhold to winter. This is excellent. White on red really gives this a layered look!

I'm jealous. The last of our hibiscus finally took a hit from the frost. I'm afraid winter is almost upon us. Excellent capture!
