[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I have never seen this type of fruit before. It didnt look edible. the plants when broken, produces a white sap ot latex like. So i suspect it is poisonous.
But the fruits are very interesting and almost a colony of them at the foothill of my visited forest reserve. The leaves look like tapioca leaves.

Foozi,

Hello Foozi,

Poisonous or what, there is only one way to fine dot, hehehe!
But good looking with a fine colour palette, however the thorns may discourage anyone...
A well framed subject, macro work is well done with fine sharpness in the plant!

Greetings,

Hello Foozi,
I have never seen these flowers and spiky fruit before but you have made a fine capture, the red colour of the stem an flowers contrasting nicely with the BG. The fruit remind me a little of Rambutan with their spikes.
TFS this fine image,
Ivan
