Summer Colours: Scarlet Red and Yellow/Pink. Flame tree (Brachychiton Acerifolius) and Mirabilis jalapa (The four o'clock flower)

In the dark, the red glow of these baroque style bell shaped flowers looks especially suggestive.

In the daylight, the tree seems to be wrapped in a red cloud.

Can't help it, I just love the randomness of infinite patterns of subtle splashes and transparent overlays of colour in each flower.
