Found this lovely on my way back from the weekly outside market. I’m pretty sure it is a type of canna lily. I’m sure some kind botanical soul will set me straight on its identity if I am wrong.
Here‘s Cee’s luscious flower. I’m horribly allergic to them, but they are surely pretty.
I love this shot because of the contrasts. I was going to use it for the Old and New prompt, but decided I loved it as a flower of the day. Taken yesterday, Jan 14, on the beach in La Manzanilla, where I am for three months. The flowers are hand made from corn husks.
