Doesn’t look much like a hibiscus to you? It is a macro of the center of the calyx after the flower has withered and fallen off. It was just so intriguing to me that I had to post it. It reminds me of something, but I can’t quite put my mind’s finger on what it is.

Cee gave me her approval to post one more posting of thunbergias. Close-ups this time. Then I promise not to show any more for a very long time.
(Click on first photo to enlarge both.)
These are my two favorite shots ot the day, although I have others you might see in the far future!

As I explained yesterday, I planted one little thunbergia vine to the far right of this photo a few years ago. Now where are they? (Click on first photo to enlarge and read captions.)
Somehow, they’ve jumped both the wall and the sidewalk and are twining around just about everything. All of these fellows are on far left of the first photo, and on the other side of the sidewalk from the original location of the vine
As Cee goes obsessive regarding poinsettias, I’m using it as an excuse to obsess over thunbergia.
I just can’t resist more photos of this Spanish Dancer Hibiscus. New girl in town every morning! Click to enlarge.

I’ve posted a number of thunbergia shots lately, but I just find them so charming and in such interesting arrangements. Love these twins cuddled up to each other.

A thunbergia vine sneaks up on this bird of paradise with its head nodding down for a nap as afternoon sun casts shadows on the wall. Click to enlarge.
