I see the faces on the two bottom ones. I also see you are having too much fun with your new gear:D. Looks like you've taken right to it, nice shot and deep, well saturated colors:thumb.

Thanks for sharing,

Well that's a first for me- first time I've ever seen a flower that is so ugly.
Great shot BTW.

De-lurking because I love these plants! They're called Cuphea, and there are all kinds of nifty hybrids. I used to collect them, and probably will again if I ever have time to re-do the garden on my front patio.

These are early efforts and probably not the snazziest photos with which to de-lurk, but oh well! Let's see if I can get this posting photos thing correct on the first shot...

Ugly flowers are good. Everyone posts lovely flowers, so these are somewhat unique :thumb:thumb They really do look like bat faces :huh
