Flowers seem to have endless variety and beauty, and light from behind adds more nuances.

Hibiscus is such a lush flower! We have several hibiscus bushes and their large, intensely colored blooms are a joy. These bushes are old and had gotten "leggy" so I was persuaded to cut them back drastically. It was hard to do. I hate cutting back shrubs. I hope the results will be worth it -- more foliage and blooms, few long sticks with leaves on the ends. I need a course in gardening!

This beautiful bloom was one of many unusual varieties of hibiscus I photographed at Busch Gardens in Tampa.
