Hibiscus Bush

Well no hunting today, Woody slept in a little, caught up on his email, and other things then he and Dave went shopping. Not much new or exciting, weather is warm but threatening rain. Another day similar to yesterday, except the weather is not as nice. I could not resist the beauty of this bush at Dave and Randi's, just had to have a couple of pictures.



Hibiscus flower
This variety of hibiscus is named Brilliant or San Diego Red, a type of tropical hibiscus. Its flowers are 5.5 inches across and only open for a single day. Although blossoms do not last long, the plant blooms continuously during warm and hot weather, so it almost always has flowers on it.

These are gorgeous flowers, very delicate, the rain damaged the blossoms, but I wanted to take some pictures before we left.
