Oh my gosh, I’ve never seen bromeliad flowers quite like that. It almost look unreal, like a neon plastic or something pastel like that someone would wear. Crazy colors, and great entry for the theme. 🙂

Yes, there’s a huge variety in these plants, especially in Australia. Not sure of the exact genus of this one!

What amazing colours, Peter ! – growing near you ? It looks a bit like a blossom on a ginger plant; but now I see your research and realize it’s a bromeliad. Good grief ! Gorgeous !
