The lighting was just right last Sunday when I took this shot of one of the Cherie Hibiscus blossoms. Evidently, this bush likes the warm weather we had last week and is still delivering these nice flowers daily. This one was especially pretty and had no visible flaws or blemishes.
Found on the Internet from an old Sunset Magazine article:
A warm tropical paradise with gentle ocean breezes is what hibiscus (H. rosasinensis) brings to mind. The state flower of Hawaii, this evergreen hibiscus has long been a symbol of the beauty and lushness of the tropics. If you live in a mild-winter area of the West, you can bring a bit of paradise to your garden by planting hibiscus.
