Heidi Fickinger replied:
So appreciate your comments Douglas. This as taken in natural light....I credit the luminosity of color of the flower for how it glows in the sun.

That is a beautiful image. I love the color and texture in this. These never were grown much in Kihei, but I always loved seeing them in areas of the island that received more rain. Gorgeous!! L/F

Mahalo nui loa Jane! I love the leis made of these beauties. When still on the plant, they glow like lanterns of their namesake in the sunlight.
