Color Fade
2009-09-17
Not sure what plant this is, I forgot to check. I took the shot at lunch in the botanical gardens, and I love how the color fades from red to green. The clear blue sky provided a great background. It's another iPhone shot and I had to do a slight crop, so it's pretty low-res, but I'm happy with the way the color turned out.
Update: I checked - it's Calothamnus quadrifidus, or One-sided Bottlebrush. Native to Australia.

on September 18, 2009I agree. The color fade from red to green is very pleasing to look at especially set against the blue sky.
