Description
The stamens on this bloom made me think of angelhair pasta. Maybe I should go get some dinner! LOL!
This was from the Conservatory at Volunteer Park in Seattle.
I forgot to check to see what it was called. We were in such a rush to get a lot of pictures in a short time, because they were closing for the evening.
These beautiful flowers were in a room with brugmancia and other subtropical plants. If anybody knows what this is, feel free to let us know!

Thanks to Andrea for the ID ... it's an epiphyllum.

What a beautiful flower. I love the red bloom tucked in among the beautiful green leaves. This would make a beautiful Christmas card.

It reminds me of a Christmas cactus, but I'm probably wrong. ;c) I grow the fern in my garden, and it's supposed to be hard to grow, but mine are not having a problem. I need to cut them back, in fact. Need a machete... lol

Very pretty

I have no idea what this is called, but I'd vote for the name Angel Hair Pasta Stamen Flower which might sound even more impressive in Latin...who knows? At any rate, what a photo; it's funny but the leaves remind me a wee bit of basil or some nice spice and the photo makes me want to smell them. I see a flower and I want to smell the non-flowery part! How typical! The colors are rich too. I love the red that's not so eye-searing, and the green that's quite intense; it's a nice shake-up of expectations! Yeah, this is a cool photo! I like it a lot.

It's an Epiphyllum, Tara, and as the flower-bearing stems can be very unattractive this is a brilliant way to display them! Super pic. I shall copy this idea for my epis!

From your photograph it's plain you're enchanted with the loveliness of flowers just as I'm seduced by the endless mysteries of my river. Appreciated your comment.
