Sunshine’s Macro Monday #26

Last week I posted the Hibiscus bud and a few people wanted to see the flower.
Recap – the bud

The flower. Isn’t the bud deceiving as most people thought the flower would be red.
Here is another Hibiscus that is flowering at the moment too. This one is red and a miniature

A hunt for red

Published on January 27, 2020 by bushboy25 Comments

Patti from the Lens-Artists sent us on a scavenger hunt to hunt for things that are Red

I had to go to town yesterday so I set out to find a few things from around town instead of my usual combing my place for bits of red among the nature that abounds here at times.

Here is what I found
A red post and a fortuitous red car driving pst
A red motorbike at a service station with bits of red everywhere
A red ute livening up the street

I just happened to be near the Fire Station when the truck came out of the station
OK I did lie. I had to include the miniature red Hibiscus in my garden that are just flowering as there has been good rainfall over the past two weeks
