I have no clue what this is, but it's RED ... I've decided to share it 'au natural' and in two Black & White versions too for a belated Monochrome Monday. Which do YOU prefer & why?
and for others participating in
Ruby Tuesday & Monochrome Maniacs.
My 3rd Monochrome Monday

What a vivid red. Beautiful. I really like how you altered it too. You are so talented.
Have a terrific day. Big hug. :)
The original is such a vibrant red I think I like it best. But the other two are very good.
I love the top picture because of the colors, but if you are asking about the other two I would have to pick the Newspaper one. The other one seems dull.
I just love your thought for today.
I hope all is well with you!
Hugs!
What an interesting plant. I like it in color but also like it in monochrome. It's a good choice to play with different ways of presenting it.
The red version is outstanding! :)
I like the first one. I just can not imagine my world without colors! Ironically speaking, black and white are colors too, aren't they?
Of course the color is spectacular. I've never seen a plant like that and that red is unbelievable. I think the depth and texture comes out the best in the second shot and if that was all I saw, it would really leave me wondering what color it truly is! All great!
I love playing around with my software as you saw when you visited me today but as beautiful and vibrant as the first one is I would not want to hide it. It is just too beautiful!
I remember that, the Tickle me plant! Miss playing with it lol, beautiful! (Thanks for your visit and sorry Im late!) Ingat!
The infrared. But, as I am saying so often this week, flowers rarely look their best in B&W.
I like the fluffy red ball. :)
I don't know how to change my photos to B&W.
The red flower is so vivid...love it,
wonderful Ruby Tuesday. I also like the black and white versions, not as much as the colored though. I just love the vibrancy in the red. Thanks for visiting my RT! :)
I don't know what it is either, but it is beautiful !
The infrared gives the better contrast of the two B&W images, and while I'd agree with Aileni that flowers don't always translate well to monochrome, I've found that red and white are usually pretty respectable. Especially when using a red contrast filter (for red ones at least).
But of the three, I'd have to go with the original as my favorite. In this case, you have a pretty whimsical kind of plant which is best served in color. B&W for flowers looks best on the more "elegant" varieties -- roses, orchids, stuff like that. At least that's how I see it. Opinions vary widely, but that's mine.
I love the colors more than the B+W, but those show more detail...
I'll always go with the color!
I took a photo of the same plant a few months back, in a conservatory. I don't know its name either, though!
I like the color photo best, with this flower. Though the B&W ones aren't bad.
Thanks for your visit for RT!
This is so cool! I love all the effects.
Definitely the colored one--the hue is just too wonderful to switch to black and white!
Of course, storyteller, I love the RED and the Infrared b&w. Thanks for your Ruby Tuesday participation. I really appreciate it! Hugs! :)
the first one -- because I love the color. color is such a blessing
The infrared speaks to me at once, with exclamation points!
I like the newspaper edition too.
It challenges me to study and wonder.
It's such a special composition.
The viewer must take time to sought it out.
