Mystery red tropical flower
I have no idea what kind of flower this is. It was blooming recently in the Volunteer Park Conservatory, and I was taken aback by its perfect beauty. Any of our blog readers from Singapore, the Phillipines or Malaysia, perhaps, know its name? [Thank you, Flitterkit of California, telling us it’s a red passion flower!]
Visit Ruby Tuesday for more photos with some red. Macro Monday, Color Carnival, Macro Friday, Today’s Flowers, SOOC Sunday are all great places in blogland as well. Click on the Sara’s Fave Photos banner above to show the full blog here.
I don’t know what it is but you’ve wonderfully captured it’s vibrant beauty!
it is a Red Passion Flower. Passiflora coccinea. Very pretty photo!

Hi Sara,
I wanted to say that I love all your images. But I also wanted to say that taking photographs, makes you a creative person! So please feel free to share your treasures in the Being Creative party, if you like.
What a beautiful flower!! The center reminds me of Passion Flower, but I’m not sure about the petals – it is lovely!!
Very pretty flower and great photo!
A beautiful shot of the flower.
