Another great shot, you captured the subtle colors realy well. Beautiful plant, but they sure can stink! Nice job as always.

Ah, the sickly sweet smell of the bog in spring. They claim the powdered root is a hallucigen. Some people have way too much time on their hands. Nice colours, great catch

i love to read old time things I do not know if this plant grows in Louisiana but I read about it sometimes now I see it for the first time //great shot

Just now I've seen your photo "a very magical winter's day" but you don't accept comments on it but I wanna say that it's a wonderful photo with beautiful theme, colors and DOF. Said this now I must say you that it's the first time that I see this plant and I like very much the abstract effect. Thanks for sharing these photos Tina :)

First time Ive ever seen one of these plants. Excellent photo, thanks for the exposure (get it).

GORGEOUS!!! :):)
