Photo Hunt #55: Upside down


red hot poker, originally uploaded by M'roy.

This week's theme posed quite a challenge for me, although I have some sort of an idea what to post (i.e. reflection). However,I thought why not stretch it out a little bit and so off I went digging into the archives again and found this.

Some plants produce flowers that bloom upside down like the red hot poker, which is a big hit with hummingbirds. I spent countless moments watching a hummingbird enjoy this delectable goodness.

PHOTO HUNT is hosted by TNCHICK. Join us in the hunt.
