Tropical orange flower
Here is a macro of a ruffled orange flower I do not know at all. It was blooming in Seattle’s Volunteer Park Conservatory this week. You can see the faint reflections of the glass roof supports in the water droplets.

Beautiful! So cheerful in the midst of winter.
That must be one of the most beautifully coloured flowers I have seen. Great shot! Thanks for sharing on Mandarin Orange Monday #75:)
Hello Sara, it’s a beautiful photo of a lovely flower, but it has me stumped. On first view I thought it might have been a Crossandra, but the pointy bit is not characteristic of these. Members of the nightshade family (Solanaceae) often have flowers with projecting central pointed structures, but orange colour is not usually seen in this family.
