Love these blooms! They are wonderfully bright;
Like delicate, strong ballet dancers twirling in silence;
delighting with their amazing attention to detail.
I marvel at their elegance;
wish for more and more of their color
on dark days!
Yet they favor the dark most of all and
bloom best after having hours with little light.

Yes, ballet dancer is an apt comparison, Carol.

Lovely floral you described as a ballet dancer, I love that term and apply it to Butterflies as well.
A Tigerswallow Tail would dance nicely with your beautiful red floral image.
Love your comment below your photograph.

My Christmas cactus always blooms around my birthday in early November!
This is a startling colour Carol, hope you are feeling OK this weekend.
