Copa de Oro: Weekend Prompt Challenge, Sunshine Yellow

Click on flowers to enlarge. You can’t see the golden glow unless you do!!

Yesterday I  promised to show you what the Copa de Oro looked like once it opened up. The last photo is yesterday’s closed fist. Today they opened wide! Since nothing exemplifies sunshine yellow better than the sunshine bright color in the throat of this flower, I’m using it for the Weekend prompts challenge of sunshine yellow. That glow is real. It’s the sun shining through the flower!

Yolanda saw me putting this on my desktop and remarked that
it looked like the coronavirus. So it does. But beautiful, no?

Copa de Oro means Cup of Gold in Spanish. Named due to the vivid gold throat of each flower.

I can’t remember ever seeing this lovely little white hibiscus with a blushing throat before, but there are two of them growing among the brighter coral ones on the wall between me and my neighbors. I’m wondering if I bought a new one and planted it there or is it just because I’m spending so much more time in my studio and hammock and so I’m noticing some things that have been there all along? I took this photo from the hammock. It is so different from the showier and larger varieties but I love it’s simple fragile beauty.
