Description Exotic flower growing in the humid biome at the Eden Project in Cornwall, UK. I rather liked the smoothness of the texture in this shot, and well, a little bit more orange to cheer up the dreary greyness here.

The back lighting on the green leafs are providing a lovely contrast to the brilliant orange of the flower. A strong comp and engaging image. Well done.

We had a ton of them growing round our last house. Green ants and tree frogs love 'em.
