hibiscus

I think the trimming I gave the Hibiscus shrubs months ago has paid off. They have more flowers than ever, and I'm even more determined to dig them up and make a little hibiscus hedge closer to the house someday.

The colors are so varied, too- from white and pale pink to light purple and almost lavender. I took some photos, and noticed that the petals vary in their shapes, too. Some are almost round, others more oblong or frilly.

This one has a small petal curled inside around its pistil.
