This is our most unusual hibiscus; a cross between a regular hibiscus and a tequila sunrise variety. I'm not sure of the name so will have to consult my master gardener. All comments welcome. >=))>

Bill - Have seen this variety before but not in this color. This has a nice peachy watermelonly color to it. Very well photographed with the right choice of DOF.

This is a new one on me, Bill. Spectacular variety. The double center is particularly attractive. Nicely taken and displayed here.

Strong composition and richly sensuous feel to the image, Bill, with lovely soft light and delicate colour - like it a lot. The flower isn't bad either !.

Looks very interesting as far as the bloom goes, Bill. I like the color and the peak at the center. The comp is not quite working for me - I think the BG peaking through in the lower left is not working for me.

A crazy looking flower, Bill! The lighting and your dof choice makes for fantastic detail. Very unique and beautiful.
