The host plant is Cardinal Flower, the wild version. It was taken at a Mass Audubon wildlife sanctuary.
A Canon EOS 1D MKII with a 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 L IS lens @ 400mm was used for this shot. 550EX Speedlite with a Better Beamer flash extender was used for fill only as it was a bright day with clouds shadowing the sun from time to time. |
