Our Titi plants are starting to bloom with these tiny flowers. They are not quite the diameter of a dime and the stalks with the buds are about a foot long. These are the first sprouts. This is the first time these plants have put out any flowers so I’m anxious to see how they will look when filled in. BG is a large Titi leaf. All comments welcome. >=))>

Beautiful colors and detail Bill. I like the composition with the few blooms in the background OOF. For me at least, this gives more information about the plant without being overwhelming. Can’t wait to see it is in full bloom. Nicely captured.

Bill, the yellow stamen sure stand out in the field of red. This is very nicely dramatic. Your focal plane management looks good also. This looks like an awesome plant to have in your garden!

Bill, I don’t think I have ever heard of or seen one of these plants, so I sure appreciate you sharing this image. Just beautiful. I agree with @linda_mellor and @Mark_Seaver’s comments. Excellent!
