Hibiscus Bold
Hibiscus shrubs and trees are known for their showy colourful flowers, especially in the tropics and sub-tropics. Cultivars show this trait exaggerated in magnificent degree and diversity. This particular plant I inherited in my Gold Coast hinterland ten years ago. It powers on despite great difficulty with the usual sap-sucking bugs. This image of a 150mm diameter flower was captured in a late and gloomy afternoon with a well-muted on-camera flash.
