You have me confused with this one. It is a real flower, right? Brilliant colors and and unusual bloom. What does it mean "Made in Hong Kong"? Good shot to display against black.

Now this is one cool - and fun - shot, Tony. Looks like a flower . . . . . . but from another world.

I suppose I should have offered an explanation to my comment. When in Hong Kong, no matter where you are in the city, vendors will approach someone who is obviously

non-Asian, open their long coats to reveal trinkets they have for sale. Many of these trinkets were imitations of Nazi medals i.e., Iron Crosses and other military insignia.

Their selling spiel is: You Like genuine Nazi medals? They are made right here in Hong Kong. Real McCoy, yes? Special today, just for you. Hilarious.

Thanks for your comment. Yes, it is a real flower.

Yessir, It is a genuine, imitation of a fake and counterfeit Nazi medal. Or, something like that.

Thanks very much for your comment.

Quite the creative perspective on a flower presentation.
And the flower truly does have its own unique and fascinating presentation of itself--which you have enhanced with great finesse.
