Brownea capitella

The colour of flowers when they are alive
the colour of danger to your life
The colour of good luck
the colour of happiness
The colour of blood
What's red to you?

Singapore Botanic Gardens

Blue skies and everything nice - that was this morning at the Singapore Botanic Gardens. Many plants and shrubs were in bloom. They were on the verge of fading but still looked good. I photographed the flowers that I have seen many times before in the gardens except that this time I paid special attention to the sky in the background. What a lovely morning!
