Beautiful composition, Sue! I like the perspective of this one a lot. Those red flowers are gorgeous; wish we could grow them here in the Northwest.

How beautiful! I used to live in Singapore, saw a lot of this kind of plant grew and bloomed easier in everyone's yard. Here we treat it so unique:-)! I appreciate your nice comment on my "Succulent 2", thank you!!

Very beautiful work, Sue! The background color was so well chosen. In addition, the artwork you did in the borders was extremely creative and well done. ~Roberto.
