August and early September = +95° temps every afternoon in Houston and today was no exception. However this tropical hibiscus thrives in the heat although the leaves may just be on the verge of igniting. All comments welcome.>=))>

The colors are outstanding, Bill! The gradual change from dark pink, to pink to orange / yellow is nicely captured. Wonderful composition and details in this abstract.

A very sensuous image, Bill - the folds of the upper petal seem as if caressed by a breeze ! Wonderful control of colour and light, and a fine composition.

Neat colors. I like the concept of venation radiating out from a corner, rather than a third point. Just lovely!
