Flower Power

Postby Haci Richard » March 5th, 2008

I think it's time for a new photo thread -- any nice photos of flowers out there?



Big scary flower in Copan Ruinas, Honduras



Flower that will later grow into an 800-pound pumpkin on my uncle's farm.



Morning glory (?) on Vulcan Masaya, Nicaragua
