Do You Like Red?

A perennially beautiful "dinnerplate hibiscus" plant is thriving in my back yard. From July to September, I'm greeted daily with several new blooms—large and round and simply gorgeous. These ten-inch flowers open to botanical perfection. They almost look artificial, like the oversized flora seen in Munchkin Land.

Not a macro shot by any means, I consider this a successful attempt at closeup photography.
