Ah thank you Luther for the info. Very interesting. Quite similar, even in the leaf, isn't it. :-) I love your photo.

Thanks for commenting.
It's unusual to find the Lehua flower in an almost perfect sphere. It's native Hawaiian with the scientiific name "Metrosideros polymorpha" . This one was found on Coconut Island, Kaneohe Bay, Oahu..
Thanks for the photo of the bottlebrush tree, "Callistemon rigidus". The red variety of both, Lehua and Bottlebrush flowers are almost the same color.
Aloha ..... Luther

Great picture Luther. I have been trying to take one of the bottlebrush in our garden (I think yours is a bottlebrush) but not had a good capture. Your certainly does it justice. Just for fun here is one of mine.

A tough one to focus on, but you captured it AOK. The green surrounding it really helps to spotlight the blossom. Very nicely done. Regards.

Luther, Reminds me of the flowering gums we get in Aus except for the vibrant green. Nice picture, particularly with the bud next to the flower. Thanks for your comment.
