Another exotic extra-terrestrial looker! This also has an undersea meets odd Fungi look... Very interesting!

This was an odd plant I came across when on a 4X4 road trip in the high mountains.

Thanks! Considering I had to lay on the ground to get the shot, not so easy anymore!

Boy that is a shot of big color in such a colorless landscape even if so dwarfed by everything else! Mother nature sure makes interesting choices. I wonder why so colorful. Easy to find for some animal to eat?

Hey young Sue, I have no pity for you at all. Poor old me! LOL If I went down there to get a shot, I would be stuck thee forevermore.
