Thank you to the both of you. Raavendra for those wonderful words and Ashish for translating ^_^
Raavendra's words like.. He has no that much precious words to describe your organism's beauty you have captured in this spotting. He want to congratulate you on submitting such excellent picture of this organism.
Thanks for the compliment hayde and Ashish ^_^ Sorry Raavendra, you have to translate that for me :(
Ian you got great Red colour..!!
You should sign it for The Color Red mission :)
इस फूल के सौंदर्य की प्रशंसा शब्दों में कर पाना असंभव है! छायाकार को मेरी तरफ से बहुत-बहुत बधाई!
I think with susan's oops we discovered a flaw(?) in the system that needs to be corrected. typing /edit gives access to anybodys spotting!
Probably, the wikipedia page shows several similar plants http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etlingera_elatior
Susan please do not copy URL with edit in end. Anyone will get access to editing your spotting..!!
is it the same as this one that i found in costa rica? http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/6309974/edit
I think its Etlingera elatior of Zingiberaceae family
