I would like to see the overall plant or flower in its context, but am thoroughly enjoying the macro treatment you're giving. An amazingly pretty flower -- but then I really like hibiscus -- my dad got me started, he was once a hibiscus collector in his own back yard flower garden.

@Viewfinder: They really are beautiful plants. I have the smaller version ones on the side of the house...still pretty but these Hardy ones are just stunning!

The red center almost looks like something dripped on it an stained it. Amazing what a closeup shot does.

SUPERB, you have really gone all inside it. This is awesome pal. Now you are again in the teasing mood, this is a real teaser to me. You very well know the reason hehehe....
