I have no idea what this is - maybe one of the nightshades?
It was in a wild nature park on Maui, but I believe I have seen them in California gardens.
ID appreciated!

Definitely a nightshade. Nice shot.

Sandy, I like very much the composition and the color contrasts among the base colors blue, yellow and green. I thing that the contrasts could be stronger eliminating the blue/cyan color cast that my eyes or my monitor see. Anyway I love the photo.

I like this pretty much as is, Sandy. If you choose to eliminate the cyan, be careful. Too much, and the leaves turn gray. At a guess, no more than 50%.

Sandy: Looks pretty good on my monitor. My only suggestion would be a slightly tighter crop but this works very well as is. >=))>
