Clerodendrum Splendens

I photographed these unusual (for our area) flowers in the garden of friends last week. I don't recall ever seeing these before as they're native to tropical western Africa, and while our area is warm, it's anything but tropical, particularly now when we're in the 5th year of a drought. Apparently they're adaptable

 

Lighting stuff: Lit with a YN560-III in an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft box which was hand held at camera right, just out of the frame. The flash, in manual mode, was triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N..

 

Other plants, flowers, fruit or thingys that I've photographed using strobes can be seen in my Strobe Lit Plant set. In the description for that set, I list resources that I've used to learn how to light with off camera flash. www.flickr.com/photos/9422</a</a</a
