    Default A couple Hibiscus blooms to brighten up your day ...

    Haven't posted this recently so figured you could handle seeing it again. I've had this one for 4 or 5 yrs now, I think....
    My botanical "satellite dish"



    It really is this bright when the sun is glaring off it.



    When viewed head on (color came out very accurate in these shots)





    Really liked how well the texture of the petal showed up here

    I could have a dozen...I love hibiscus flowers! That is one lovely color...i'm guessing the hummingbirds can find that bush easily enough.
