[Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe
This morning there was a great sunshine, which is quite unusual because monsoon has started 8 days ago. So I decided to make some photos and I want to dedicate that one to a girl friend of mine which passed away here in Goa, last friday(26/05) , drowning while trying to save two Indian men who themselves were eventually rescued. That is why I didnt post any photos during the last ten days.
I know that she used to love these beautiful red flowers wich announces the Monsoon.
I think (99%) that these plants are call Scadoxus puniceus and are a genus in the Amaryllid Family which is native to South Africa. The portuguese brought them in India, planted them around their houses and now they spreaded all over the coastal area.
Here in Goa, you can see these flowers in many places and it's a real pleasure for the eyes.

Hello Marilyn,
These aqre qbeautiful little fuzz balls that make one think that they tempt you to eat one--(SnowBalls). I'm sorry to hear of your friend's ordeal, a very honorable friend.............

Bonsoir Marilyn,
My condolences to your friend. It must be hard, to live in a place where one have to deal every year with the forces of Nature.
Pretty flowers presented to her, which remember me the tropical fruit called Rambuntans (I don't know if it is written well). Do you have it in there?
Merci,
Amitiés,
Ricardo

Hi Marilyn, Those flower are in very special styles and shapes. The bright red colors are well contrasted with the green background. Good use of light and nice close up picture.

Hola Marilyn.
I'm very sorry about your friend, please my condolences to you and her family.
Your picture is very beautiful, love the colours contrast and your POV. The flowers colours are delicate and neat.
Very good shot. TFS.

Bonjour Marilyn,
Je compatis à votre douleur et ces fleurs qui couvrent ce parterre sont un bel hommage rendu.
Curieuses fleurs, nous avons l'impression de voir des pissenlits avant la floraison poudrée d'une belle couleur rouge orangé.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Very sorry to hear about your friend; it must have been a great shock. Having read your note I think you chose a good photo in her memory. They are indeed very pretty and nicely captured by you.

Nice picture well composed with touching note yes some things are linked with our beloved ones and when we encounter them they make our wounds of separation raw and pangs of parted love deepens ………………………..that's nice you shared with us all.

this is a great tribute to a friend. i remeber having them in calcutta too. good color and the contrast is well defined.

Hello Marilyn! Very interesting flowers. I see this for first time. Colours and POV is good, but, I think, miss little bit contrast. Greetings! Lili

Bonjour Marylin,
