    Maybe the person who shot the photo, Tamarra Tavernier, can tell us the name of the red flowers in front of the dwelling.

    Can anyone seeing this posting put a name (common, local or scientific) to the red flowers surrounding this dwelling? I am very interested in knowing the name and will be looking forward to seeing any comment naming those beautiful flowers. Thanks.
