ah, of course, the yellow are the flowers.. since all these plants have the same red growing out of them. Thanks Super!

Comment from Geokat
I have never seen this plant before and find it to be very interesting, The shape of it, and the vivid color of red with a few yellow pods is very nice. You have captured the texture and shine in the petals wonderfully. An excellent contest entry. Very unique.

Thanks geo!

Comment from DigitalEyes
An unusual, interesting looking plant with bonus yellow color for added interest. Is it edible? Has a profile a bit like a pine cone, but brightly colored. Definitely red, with good focus, filling the frame.

thanks so much DE. I do not believe it is edible. Will look into though and try to post back to you.
