Fewer usage of the word flame is needed

You could have an imaginary plant leaf..
Ears like a cut thorn leaf, a spiked pointed arc like a roaring fire.
 
I'm struggling to use flame less than twice in this description:

His attention zooms in on a man with flickering blue skin at the top table; the man's clearly a foreigner here for the talks. Striking in appearance, he has flame-shaped ears and his hair is streaked with every colour to be found in a flame.


How about

His attention is taken by a man with flickering blue skin at the top table; clearly a foreigner here for the talks. Striking in appearance, he has flame-shaped ears and his hair is streaked with every colour to be found in a blazing hearth.

(not too keen on 'zoom' to be honest)

I love the Striking in appearance lol that's clever and brings in the idea of a match. I'll be using that bit thank you. I'm going to incorporate it into my description along with the clearly a foreigner.


His attention is taken by a foreigner at the top table, clearly here for the talks. Striking in appearance, the stranger has flame-shaped ears and his hair is all the colours of a roaring fire complete with a dusting of coal. Maybe the coal dust isn't natural it could be a gel -- I guess. Oh by the Universal Father, in whom I do not believe, it's like when Socrates gets me admiring his arse now this guy has me wondering about hair gel. "Who is he?"
