Description
Hmm, this could turn into a series. This was on the sidewalk in Hawi, Hawaii. It's also the one that had my gecko**, I don't know where he was at this particular moment!!

Hey, I just took a picture of a Gecko on one of these in my yard. What are the odds of that. First time it "bloomed" like this. Very nice shot Marilyn. Aloha and have a great 4th celebration.
What an outrageous infloresence! Talk about showy!!
I have not eaten all day yesterday and yet today, just weren't hungry, Now I want corn cobs with butter :)..great shot maz!
Very nice with the dark background. Healthy and strong. Aloha
Why, that's a corn palm, of course...LOL This is quite an interesting specimen and a great capture.
A type of Sago Palm? Really brilliant flower!
It is actually a male cycad in cone, not a palm. I am not too sure of the exact species, but suspect that it might be e.thaursii. Nice pic, hey!
Radiant and colourful! I do hope it becomes a series; as we are about to see a most lovely and unique find and subject! Captured with exquisite taste and appeal!
Like the offsetting black background...keep 'em coming:)
What a beauty!!! Great find and capture!
really cool I like it lots warm hugs, Linda
superbe!
wonderfull capture Marilyn x
superb shot!
I thought I had seen just about everything that palms have to offer but this is just exceptional. Crisp capture with wonderful color and contrast. Dana
Oooh, I just read an issue of Discover Magazine with some pretty great electron microscopy gracing its pages. I was taken by the false color/hyper-detailed images, and in a way, this reminds me of those images, though of course, it's totally your own...totally beautiful, and in its way, hypnotic! I love the colors and the darkened background. Fantastic! I can tell you have a real love of Hawaii...you capture it's more unexpected beauty, which is always something good to see! Great work!
splendid light
I can see Chip's point about it having things in common with microscopic images...and it's a big beautiful burst of a shot; and I agree it shows your love of Hawaii (and of all such places). The leaf-stems shooting from the center are radiant, and the center is big and bold; and, as in many of your shots, the light is powerful and radiating, to suit the radiation of the plant. A real "Marilyn" shot, and it's exuberant and beautiful at once. Just a burst.
