Description
Another one of the many varieties of the species, captured 7/17/12, early morning, within close proximity of my dedicated domicile.
A ZOOM would be to your absolute benefit.
Hibiscus is a genus of flowering plants in the mallow family, Malvaceae. It is quite large, containing several hundred species that are native to warm-temperate, subtropical and tropical regions throughout the world. Member species are often noted for their showy flowers and are commonly known as hibiscus, sorrel, and flor de Jamaica, or less widely known as rosemallow. The genus includes both annual and perennial herbaceous plants, as well as woody shrubs and small trees.

There were several bushes just like this, literally teeming with these lovely blooms, so I had myself a field day with my Canon P&S, with tons/tonnes more pics in my files.
Aloha, thankx for coming by, and for any and all favs and noncritical comments.

Oh so lovely. And I love the zoom in concept you created. Very fun to view.
You did a really sensational job on this lovely collage Harry.
wonderful flowers, perfect colage work.
Gorgeous shots. The trio being the best in my humble opinion. :-)
This type of Hibiscus is so unlike the kind we grow here. This is what I have always known as Rose Mallow, although I know they are all in the same family. There must be thousands of types of Hibiscus, that's for sure. Love this color, and the collage includes fine pictures, my favorite being the second.
Really lovely shots of these beauties, Harry; I also like the trio best of these!
Very good. I like the second pic best.
Excellent shots of this beautiful flowers. Wonderful colors.
Ditto... Dad and thank you for the botany lesson.
I like all five photos Harry and the best part about the resulting collage is that the purple tint, on these Hibiscuses, intensifies as the eyes go from top to bottom. Outstanding my friend!
Now here is a beautiful array of flowers! Makes for a stunning border.. Great series of shots Harry, well done with this collage! Rob
WOW! These are VERY pretty! My parents have something like these running down along side their walk way. Just the opposite in color theirs have the darker color outside and the lighter color inside.
