Hey Sean,

Thanks a lot for the review. I have been on a bit of a FAR break of late just to rest what is left of my pea brain. I'll get back into it soon enough my friend ~ Steve

a very good close up and entry to the flower contest with this beautiful close up of a bougainvillea with a strange flower at the top; nice colors with sharp details;

Thanks a lot Fred. That is a yellow Shrimp Flower poking through.

Here's something: What many people think of as the blooms of bougainvillea are not actually blooms at all. The showy paper-like structures are a modified leaf called a bract. These three bracts hide the true flowers inside, which are small, trumpet-shaped flowers in whites and yellows.
