Crimson cloud

The flower of the week has got to be this "Crimson cloud" that i found at a local nursery. The shop keeper thought i was a little nuts taking pics until i explained that i was a jeweller that derives all her inspiration from plant shape and form. He laughed at me when i told him that i was from South Africa, because this plant is indigenous to Africa. I'll have to go back and show him the range when its done.

I think besides the beautiful cascading flowers that remind me Japanese prints, the name is just poetic, I'll have to give the jewellery a similar charm.

Here are some pics.
