Dripping with Nectar

I was trying to get a good photo of the flower stem on the Vriesea Kiwi Sunset which is about 1 metre long but eventually gave up and took a shot of the nectar (at least I think that's what it is) dripping from one of the many bracts along its length. The flower has yet to emerge

It looks like ice! However, given the temps of Brisvegas of late, I'm sure nothing is freezing outside :)

[Tony]

Looks decidedly prehistoric.

[Rachel]

Are you sure it is not crying because of the intense heat! A lovely shot!

[Joan Robillard]

Fascinating.

Nice DOF Poppo, be interesting to see the flowers :)

@hermann They are very insignificant Sally

[Babs]

Great shot. I thought the same as Sam, it does look like an icicle, but highly unlikely in Brisbane at the moment.

Perhaps it's melting. Are there any insects that take advantage of this overflow??

[Milanie]

This really is amazing - never seen one do that. Great shot of it

[Candace]

This is the shot, love the color of the plant!

[Joce]

Nice capture !!

[Peter]

Well I don't know what it is, but its resulted in an impressive image Terry, great focus and depth of field;)

[Graham Thresher]

Love the detail

[Sheralee S]
