A Splash of Colour

I thought this Hibiscus in my mothers backyard might appeal to you frosty northern hemisphere peeps about now :)

Absolutely beautiful MA. Love the detail right down to the filaments on this.
Thanks for sharing all these wonderfully captured, colourful photos for all of us caught in the winter greys.

Oh I'll torturing you all winter long RD ;)
Mind you, your winter shots will be torturing me :(

That Hibiscus is my fathers favourite flower in my mums garden. As far as he's concerned, it's his! I think it 'stems' (excuse the pun) from his love for Hawaiian music (which he plays on his pedal steel guitar) and the stereotypical shot of the pretty Hawaiian girl with the hibiscus in her hair.

Thanks Iggy, Bambi, Rd and HBG :)
