Close and closer

The yellow roses are for Meggie, who said they're her favorite.


The big red hibiscus is for me.


Tropical!

  3. Thank you so much! They are just beautiful! What a lovely surprise I found.
    I am not sure about Hibiscus. I find them very fascinating, & am so intrigued with the stamen. They can be so fleeting. Our neighbour has a very pretty red one, which is flowering at present- a nice bright patch in our winter greys!

  4. Yes, the hibiscus are short lived, here in dry Arizona especially. What blooms one day shrivels and dies by the next morning. I have plucked one today though and have it in a wine glass of water on my desk and I find it very cheery.
