"Attraction" by Kerryn Madsen-Pietsch | Redbubble

Displaying vibrantly under a canopy of leaves in the shade are pendulant bracts of striking red with yellow and green tips of the exotic tropical bloom, in the early flowering stages, of the Heliconia Rostrata (hanging red lobster claw).

The attracted iridescent blue-green beetle species is unknown.

It’s Zygocactus annual flowering time again. The cool southerly winter winds created some difficulty while attempting to photo up close this hanging little beauty. It was highlighted with sunspots from the afternoon sunlight creating some lovely effects. Taken at home near Innisfail, in tropical Far North Queensland, Australia!

Common name: Zygocactus, Christmas cactus, and Crab’s claw cactus
Botanic name: Schlumbergera truncata Hybrids



Camera/Shoot Details

• Handheld Pentax K10D, Prime Lens smc Pentax 55mm F1.2

(This was taken with my very first SLR Lens which I forgot I had and recently rediscovered it in my black camera bag archives. It came with my first ever SLR (late 70’s), a Pentax K1000 also in good working order but ‘neglected in use’ since purchasing a DSLR in 2007.)

"Coy (Red Torch Ginger)" by Kerryn Madsen-Pietsch | RedBubble

The large Red Torch Ginger is from the ‘Etlingera Ginger’ family.
Photo Location – Home garden near Innisfail, Tropical Far North Queensland, Australia.

Amidst tall green ginger stalks
And lush canopy foliage surrounds
A large exotic torch ginger flower
Nestles coyly
Saturated red pink
Multiple finger-long and waxy tongue-like curled petals
Finely outlined white-tipped edgings defined
Caressed by
Lingering rain droplets
Glistening in the dawn’s sunlight
Clinging

Original photo taken 31Jan.2012 Time 6:40 AM

There hasn’t been many more of these flowers happening with the continual dry hot humid weather we’ve been having. Since taking this shot, Feb’s 1st-2nd week of extreme heat (reached 36 Cel inside our house one day, [meaning hotter 38-40 outside] when only forecast for 33Cel) with not one thunder storm or drenching rains in our area, the 4-5m tall blue green stem and leaves have been scorching and slowly turning more to green-yellow-brown.

In the 3rd week of Feb, 15-16th saw some reprieve finally with some heavy coastal showers at least, drenching and refreshing the thirsty landscape and cooling temp's down again.

Hope you enjoy this 'macro' version of the flower image.  I certainly never tire of seeing them growing in our large tropical garden.

Thanks for visiting.

"Greeting A New Flame" by Kerryn Madsen-Pietsch | RedBubble

Greeting a new flame kissed with raindrops in the early morning sunrise light. This bulbous green creeper vine plant produces many rich and vibrant flaring ‘fire-flame’ flowers. The vines grow ‘wild’ usually over all other hosting plants in the garden but only during the hot tropical summer months.

Juxtapositions

One of my earlier oil paintings on canvas that I hold in my own artist collection.  Original Size - H 805 mm x W 1005 mm x D 40 mm.  Female figures were first drawn/painted directly from different life models onto canvas. Then the combination of images were further developed creating the colourful abstract composition.

The work image has been professionally documented and made available for giclee prints on demand at my two online printing sites.
