Eulogy for Hibiscus: FOTD Nov 26, 2018

Yesterday I said that it was the last photo of my welcome home hibiscus that I would post, but at the request of forgottenman, I am publishing two more stages of its life. This morning I went outside to find the flower fallen to the terrace floor, but when I opened its clasped fist, I found that forgottenman was right and there was still more beauty to display, so here is a medium shot of a hibiscus at rest and tomorrow will be the last two closeup shots.  R.I.P. hibiscus beauty.

I’ve been zeroing in on this hibiscus since I got home 5 days ago.  This one is about as personal as I’m going to get! You can click on it to zero in a bit more.

Hibiscus

One of the things I gave thanks for today was this gorgeous new hibiscus growing right outside my kitchen door.  You can see its size in comparison to my hand. It will enlarge if you click on it:

Snapped in Mexico, months ago. What flowers are left are all covered in snow here in the bootheel of Missouri.

Mexico Memories. Definitely not a shot taken in Missouri, because this is what it looks like here this morning:
