John, your photos are just amazing.

This one of the leaves (#170769)I kept coming back to look at. I can't decide it it's the actual real leaves or a painting of leaves. Amazing how it appears to be both at the same time.

As a street photographer, who usually deals in people and buildings, I know next to nothing about flowers and flora except as they appear in my lense. Such beauties really ought to be exhibited with their proper title. Some day I'll do that.

Edit Reason: Give this beautiful flower its correct name, finally!

Thanks very much. I'm really glad you like them.

It's kind of funny you say this about those particular leaves (in post #170769) because when I was photographing them, they reminded me of some of the work of Georgia O'keeffe. I previsualized them exactly as you see them in my photograph.

This flower is called Anthurium; it's native to tropical America. Anthurium is a genus of more than 800 species found in the New World tropics from Mexico to northern Argentina and Uruguay.
