STRAIGHT TO THE HEART

A close-up shot of the Mandevilla flower which I took several weeks ago to show a surging fire in its depths as if looking down a volcano crater. At least that is what it looks like to me. Had to take quite a good number of shots to get this. Not completely happy with it either. The Mandevilla plant has been in flower since Spring and is still at it. Never seen it like this before.
Thank you for your views, comments and fav's.

An interesting look - could be a deep cavern ... or could be a cone popping out of this flower! It looks a treasure!
