Sunshine’s Macro Monday #27
This time I won’t tease about the colour of my Hibiscus flower. This tree is in not the best spot but has managed to survive for quite a number of years. Some seasons, it has lots of flowers, other times it is sparse.
Recent rain and hot weather has seen a few flowers appear. It is much different to the other Hibiscus in the garden.
Here is the bud
Are you ready to guess the colour?
Remember last weeks photos. A red bud with a pink flower!!!
So you have your guess ready?
Here is the flower.
How many people would have guessed correctly? I was amazed when I saw the bud as I have seen the flowers lots of time.
I had it wrong

Luckily, Jez photographs them while we’re out and about–shops, garden centres, etc. As much as I love seeing flowers, I’m not the biggest fan of watching them die in the house. Plus, the photos he takes will last forever.

Fresh flower can bring happiness into a house and when they start to die, place them in the garden, sometimes they will seed and free flowers 🙂
