Sometimes you see tropical blooms that make you look twice because the colours are so vivid. It’s aways handy if you have your camera within arm’s reach, just to capture the scene before the blooms are whisked away.

Then you take a closer look and you realise that they’re not real flowers at all. Someone’s just about to use them for a Hawaiian-themed party. Realisation dawns slowly.

You think they must be expensive, for sure. Then your eye travels up (and so does the lens of your camera) and you realise that beauty sometimes does come at a bargain-basement price.
