I've never seen this variety of hibiscus. Really striking blossom -- now I've got to look for some down here in FL. Your image is great. I love the textures on the individual flower petals, the central red color, and the shadow. The angle of the light source and the shadow make the whole thing electric. Tip o'the hat, Jen.
