Evening surprise: hibiscus.
I’ve never planted clematis. This photo by Cee makes me wonder why.
Happy New Year, flower lovers. Mexicans call this an obelisco. I call it a hibiscus.. and beautiful. You’ve seen this same flower from two other angles. I’ll give it a rest for awhile, although I have a dozen more. New Year’s resolution.

Went to buy more poinsettias, which I did. And more ferns. But, couldn’t resist this hibiscus as well. Patti and Marti encouraged me!

This lovely bloomed just in time to greet my friends who are visiting for Christmas:

Not quite fully opened today. Either it was at its prime yesterday, or the sun hasn’t hit it fully yet. Looks like a filly skirt!
See Cee’s unusual poinsettia HERE.
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.
