This is another gloxinia from Rice Greenhouses in Bedminster Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania. I love the hue of red being outlined by thin strip of white at the edges. These were also among my favorite childhood houseplants.
They look so lovely. They look sort of animanted, like they belong in a cartoon where they can talk. I know that sounds weird, but they look like they might be able to speak!
Hi, cher. Glad I could please you so with that photo. Thanks.
Hi, minka. The colors and shape do make that plant. Thank you.
Thanks, christina. I agree that purple ones are also lovely.
Hi, rubysoho. I'm going to date myself somewhat. But talking about plants talking reminds me of the 1986 movie called "Little Shop of Horrors." But I like your imagination and I think I could imagine these plants talking, too.
My main blog: Ramblings generally focuses on telling a story via photography and words. These stories generally center around family, nature, and church although sometimes just about life in general. I also have a blog entitled Fingerprints. I post less frequently in Fingerprints. It serves as a catch all of anything that does not go in my Ramblings blog including memes, quizzes, and reports on books and movies.
The road awaits
Time doesn't
The road beckons
Time steps forward
Will we move
In step with time?
Will we step forward
Shaping our time?
Will we take time
To see the present?
Will we explore the past
And understand our heritage?
Will we laugh?
Will we wonder?
Will we touch?
Will we feel?
Time flies on
We have choices
Shall we go fast?
Shall we go slow?
We shall go forward
But we will choose the pace
We may dance with all our heart
Or bathe ourselves in a setting sun

LOL, that's pretty funny Tim because that's the year I was born, but I know what that is though!
Ah yes, rubysoho, what'll our personal knowledge of popular culture may tell about us.
The colour comes out so well. Brilliant!
Thanks, san nakji. The hues are dramatic in this photo. That plays hugely into its appeal.
