Hibiscus Flowers where ever I look,
Reds and blues and the pretty white,
Freshly taken from a picture book,
They fill me with great delight.
Indoor Hibiscus Flowers delicate yellow,
Potted plants in my snug flat,
Great beauty that turns me mellow,
To all Gardeners I take off my hat.
The hibiscus is a flower to please,
Grown in a warm and temperate clime.
Reds, blues and whites do tease,
With glowing colours so sublime.
(Bernard Shaw)

Sehr, sehr schön:-)
Das freut mich. Dankeschön.
Beautiful Stefan, almost good enough to eat with that lovely rich raspberry stain!
Thank you very much Patti. You´re right…good enough to eat. Edible flowers are nevertheless special in taste.
Sehr schön, deine Aufnahmen, Stefan. Und auch die Wahl der Zeilen dazu von Shaw.

Dankeschön Michèle. Ich war selbst überrascht ein Gedicht von Shaw zu finden. Doch es passt wunderbar. Die Hibiskusblüte war einfach zu schön. Nun geht es bald weiter mit den Dahlien.
Hab‘ ein schönes Wochenende,
Stefan
Stefan, This a a spectacular set. I agree with Patti, they look delicious. Love the poem you’ve shared, too.
Thank you very much Jane, for the compliment. I was surprised to find a poem by Shaw. It was perfect for the photo set.
Stunningly lovely delicate and vivid photographs of this amazing flower, the lighting effect is awesome. I wonder if these are hybrid. We use hibiscus liberally in our landscaping here, the red or pink, double or single. I have not seen such a rare species are these, that is not to say they are not here :). Beautiful poetry as well, very fitting accompaniment. Thank you Stefan, Holly
Thank you very much Holly. I am not an expert for flowers and plants. Here the hibiscus flower is a standard/customary flower and available in flower shops. I love too the lighting effect. It is a true beauty. Next flower I photohgraphy will be the dahlia blossom.
I look forward to that, love dahlia’s.
I love dahlia’s too. Dahlia is a true beauty and so wonderful to shoot.
They are lovely and delightful to watch bloom!
I call the dahlia a „look at me“ flower with a brilliant burst of colour. It is like colourful rhapsody for the eyes.
It is indeed, too beautiful for words!
Wunderbare Farb/Lichtspiele mit diesen zauberhaften Blüten! Sehr sinnlich. Dazu die Tropfen – toll!
Liebe Grüße,

So ist es. Es sind Florale Pupillenaufheller und dank des Regens auch im abtropfelnden Prozess wahre Schönheiten. Sinnlich ist dazu trefflich ausgedrückt.
Liebe Grüße,
Stefan
