This photo shows the center stamen of a reddish cactus flower.I liked the way the green stigma reaches out towards the sky.
The red delicate petals provide a great background.
This cactus is called echinocereus huitcholensis and originates from Mexico. It is a new cactus in my backyard.
I hope you are enjoying the macro photos on my site this week.
Check out photos of the Hotel Del in Coronado, California at Viva la Voyage!

Wow that is very striking
Really nice flower pic Julie. Great colours.
magnifique macro OO
Your title is very accurate. Such vivid and strong colours. If you like green, the Midwest is for you, but some of your cacti flowers rival some of our lovely spring blooms, too.
This is so pretty. Love the green on the orange.
a little work of art.
A wonderful series.
Love this shot. The flower is glowing.
By coincidence, we have each posted a close up photo of a red flower today, although yours is much better.
Fantastic photo - it just bursts into the screen. Excellent focus on details & COLOR!!!
Striking colors!
I am enjoying the macro photos. It's amazing what we can't see or simply pass by. You have made me more observant!
Wonderful macro! The green part of the flower is quite surprising...
Great macro shot. Very striking colors and I like the contrast of the green stigma against red.
