The Spanish name for the hibiscus is “obelisco.” Why this is, I do not know, unless it is because of the long stamen which is remotely obelisk-shaped. jdbphoto

A lovely shot, Judy — and how interesting about the flower’s name.

Nice shot! I like the orange-ish wall next to the pink flower.

Not only do you get these gorgeous photos with your camera, but when you post them, they come across gorgeous too. There must be a WordPress setting because some blogs come across pixilated. I am curious as to what settings you use.

I take the photos at a very high resolution and transfer them to my media library at 1000 pixels for the longest side. It takes up more space but gives better photos.
