Mike, Those are great. The last little plant was everywhere. I took quite a few of shots of them. I still haven't downloaded half the pics I took. Here's one of my favorites (of that plant).

Not a macro, but what the hey... fire seems to be the theme right now...
This pic reminds of the Hell portrayed in the movie "Constantine" with Keanu Reeves. Whoooa.
