Warm greetings fellow reflection Hunters! 😁 πŸ™ πŸ’š ✨ πŸ€™

For my entry in Reflection Hunters Contest: Round 180 I want to share with you some quite striking photos of the bright-red flower head of a torch ginger - Etlingera elatior, and their equally stunning reflections, that I took just a short time ago today. This ginger, both in its foliage and its flowers, can get quite large indeed, and added to the bright colors of the flowers, make it an ideal candidate for some gorgeous reflection shots, with the help of my ever-trusty portable mirror.

Very thankfully the sun was out when I went reflection hunting, so I was able to get just over a handful of really lovely reflection shots of these eye-catching flowers, from various angles. It's kind of funny that my entry in the Shadow Hunters Contest this week is also a ginger, just a different species. In any case, I hope that you enjoy these photos as much as I did when I took them! 😁 πŸ™ πŸ’š ✨ πŸ€™

Quite colorful flowers you have shared here, Tydyn!

However, I hardly can detect any typical reflections here. I see some shadows though :)

Anyway, Good luck in the contest!

Thanks very much, @hafiz34! Haha...well, that's good I guess! There's only one flower spike, the other is the reflection in my portable mirror. Many thanks again! 😁 πŸ™ πŸ’š ✨ πŸ€™

Haha I thought the same as @hafiz34 until I seen 2nd photo. I spent a little time looking at entry photo. Just makes it even better that the reflection source is blended into the shot(sort of hidden)😁

That's both cool and interesting! I guess it is pretty nice then that the reflection and its source were so indistinguishable from each other! πŸ˜πŸ™πŸ’šβœ¨πŸ€™

!INDEED there are many different kinds of ginger, and most of them have lovely flowers, with the flowers on this species being both very large and very colorful! You're always very welcome, @olgavita, absolutely! It's my honor, pleasure, and privilege to share! πŸ˜πŸ™πŸ’šβœ¨πŸ€™

Nice mirror reflections of a beautiful torch ginger. Sorry I never hear of it actually, hehe. Is it native flower mostly in Hawaii? Best of luck in the competition 😁

Thanks so much, @coolmidwestguy! All good, most people have never heard of or seen torch ginger. It's not native here in Hawai'i, but rather in South-East Asia. Thanks much again, I appreciate it! 😁 πŸ™ πŸ’š ✨ πŸ€™
