28th March 2014 - Lovely surprise

Still catching up my missed days. This plant had burst into flower while we were away. What a great surprise to see this fabuous colour. I don't know the name of the plant but I think it comes from South Africa.

Back to Macro-March - only few more days!!

Many thanks for all your great comments and Favs on yesterdays shots. One even made the Trending Page for which I thank you!!

Beautiful flowers Pam, they are such a fabulous colour. Are they Clivia?

[Sally Ings]

Amazing colours. You have spurned my interest as they are not instantly recognisable. Without seeing the size and shape of the leaf, identification is more difficult

Gorgeous colour, pov and focus, fav for me! I'm wondering if it could be a crocosmia (also called montbretia)?

@tristansmum Many thanks Stephanie especially for the Fav!! I don't think it's monbretia as the leaves are very thick and stiff like a lilly. A few people have said it is a Clivia.
