very nice!

Delicious colour in the berries and a lovely capture with nice bokeh Keith, Not keeping a few seeds was probably a good plan ;-)

Excellent how you show these fruits...

They are so captivating that they have to repel malicious attacks..
It's suspended!
Fantastic capture, Keith
Thanks for the information, too

A fantastic close-up, Keith ! Beautiful colors and a very nice soft green background !

Superbes couleurs!!*

ROFLMAO!!! You have me literally laughing out loud, Keith! Hilarious title and description!! :D Aw, come on...be a little adventurous! You know you want the smell of zombie in your yard! :D :D Honestly, it would be an honor to have a Corpse Flower blooming for me but ok...I don't know if I could handle the stink but wow...https://www.google.com/search?q=corpse+flower&sxsrf=ALeKk02YZdQczh0QHMMZZNjcfxdYVm4cLQ:1605456823895&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwis0MLd-ITtAhVMJzQIHUluD6AQ_AUoAXoECC4QAw&biw=2043&bih=1008
As for other stinky flowers, we have a bush that grows in our area called buckbrush which flowers with an overwhelming, cloying stench, the smell of decaying old-lady's perfume. BLECH! I've rid the property of every one that I can get to, though our hillside still hosts at least several acres of them. Stinky flowers indeed.

I LOVE your picture though! What gorgeous berries!!! And how they are bursting through the pod, it's just dynomite! :D A veritable berry explosion! :D Outstanding!

P.S. I posted one of my ivy pictures! I hope you don't mind blushing... :)

Yes indeed, I prefer the aroma from muck spreading to these. It a very striking image Keith, they say anything beautiful in nature and is red has an element of danger about it.

glorious red !

I haven't heard of this one either Keith. It makes up for its unfortunate name now though, with the beautiful red berries, and on the green background looks very Christmassy. I have just come in from a walk and two houses in the village have their Christmas lights around their houses and gardens. It did look rather cheery :-))

what a magnific red!
well done Keith
Happy new week:)

Nicely done!

An excellent capture with strong complementary colours.

The seeds look very attractive, especially on the green background! The stinking must be very attractive to insects.
I once saw a flowering titan arum (the largest flower in the world) in our botanical gardens, the rotting meat smell was so overpowering that I had to put all clothes straight into the washing machine;-)

An outstanding image. The colours are wonderful. The red of the berries and the beautiful green bokeh plus the colour variations and texture of the withering leaves. I'd heard of the plant but never seen it.
