Fiery flower

I saw this beautful flower (flowers actually... there were hundreds of them) on my way through the city today, and I just couldn't resist taking a shot - the petals looked like flames, and each flower was bigger than my whole hand... I wish I knew its name...

Gear used Olympus OM-D E-M5 + Lensbaby Velvet 56 f1.6/56mm.

Those are striking colours.

Very interesting. I like the focus on the center of the flower -- making the spikey petals unusual.
