Look at the fur on that thing! I never realized they were that fuzzy. Great capture!

Great capture and title, I like this image, so vibrant and strong, well done!

Red is definitely the complement of green.

awesome colors I like the fuzz warm hug, Linda

great macro. love the contrast

Wonderful image! :)

Gorgeous!

Awesome colors, great shot!

Ahh it is nice to have a good buddy haha. And this buddy is a beauty

All that fur! Amazing plant. I wonder if I could grow one up here?

Stunning color and macro. You can see all the hairs on it.

fur, yes! (from now on I'll just read tara...although your other fans are great too...) I love this flower! Besides the fact it has really thick hair—the brazilian hippie of flowers—you got tiny spider-silks in the shot, weaving around the periphery. (Full-view helps with that...) I assume the reason there isn't a full web is that no self-respecting spider would go near these flowers—they're formidable! Also we can see the hint of intense violet where the petals are beginning to open. Amazing...I don't wanna sound overly protective, but hope you're wearing protective goggles. That's one intense flower...and I like the gold trim around the leaves too...a great series. I think you should call up its relatives, maybe they come in blues and greens too...

Well yo buddy has whiskers!!!! Nice colors!!!

Awesome Shot!!

Ha...this reminds me of one of the formidable triffids from a really bad B move--"Attack of the Trifids." I like that about this piece, though I have to say that the fuzz on this fella is quite impressive as well. I love the colors here; the intensity is amazing and so well controlled. Red flowers are so hard to photograph in the right way and you've caught that red perfectly...the hints of violet are amazing as well. In short, this is an amazing piece of work!

Love the fuzzy textures to those blooms.
