Description

My curiosity was aroused by this odd yellow flower blooming out of a much larger red flower.  I still do not know what the species of genus is, but it is an odd composition to have a flower blooming from a flower and I could not resist taking this photograph.  This was taken from the Botanical Gardens in Montreal, a fantastic place to visit.  Their website can be found at http://www2.ville.montreal.qc.ca/jardin/en/menu.htm.

An old friend, with whom I grew up playing competitive soccer and attended high school, and I periled the aggression of a merciless winter storm to get to the gardens because I was only in the city for a day and we could not resist a butterfly exhibit that was happening that weekend.  I took this using my Nikon FM2 loaded with Kodak Elitechrome 100 ISO film at 1/60, f/8 at full zoom and closest focusing position with my Sigma 70-300mm macro apochromatic zoom lens and my Nikon 5T apochromatic close-up lens.
