This closeup was actually taken months ago in Mexico, but couldn’t resist using it as it goes so well with Cee’s flower of the day.
You can’t beat this combination of orange and purple.
You must see Cee’s flower HERE.
These pesky little flowers are taking over my yard. I had to build a patio over one patch of ground they’d infested. It was the only way to get rid of them. They are sorta pretty closeup and much enlarged, but still, a pest is a pest.

Pink isn’t my favorite color, but I love this pink hibiscus I spotted in my friend Lety’s garden yesterday.
This is the same hibiscus I showed a night shot of two nights ago. Who needs diamonds or yachts when she can have a flower like this constantly blooming to enjoy every morning?
I went out at midnight to get something from the car and saw two new hibiscus glowing in the light from beside the door. Of course, I had to capture them, which brought the cats streaming down from the garage. Tricky getting in and out to get the camera as they are wonderful little escape artists, with two or three distracting me while the other two or three slip into the house. Then I had the camera on the wrong setting, so after spending a half hour trying to work with the photos, it finally occurred to me I could go back out with a flashlight to capture better color. In the end, however, once on the correct setting, I could use available light. Then had to narrow the choices down. This beauty was the winner.
