The gloria flowers during the monsoon and the you have a dark grey sky. I had made some random shots of the buds, just because i did not have anything to shoot in the bad light. I gave this a second look...

C&C appreciated.

These have long bloomed and gone here, 3 or 4 months ago. I have always caught these with the "flames" in the peak of flowering. I have never thought of the buds as being photogenic, but I definitely like the various shades of green and aqua. and the hint of red flower in the bud that is the focus. A well thought out photo. cool

I like this. Perfect DOF to keep the subject sharp and the BG out of focus.
