Petals of an exotic red blossom in a flower arrangement near the lobby of a resort in Akumal Mexico. Taken last November. (Please zoom in to view the 'hairs' on the petals.)

"Akumal" means "place of the turtle" in Maya. In addition to the sea turtles which lay their eggs on the beach (in holes which they dig) Akumal Bay is surrounded by the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System, which is continuous from Cancun on the north-eastern tip of the Yucatan Peninsula, south through the Riviera Maya to Honduras. It is the second largest coral reef system in the world.
