Tropical Hibiscus
Hibiscus rosa-sinensis
'Lutea'
(hi-BIS-kus)
(RO-sa-sy-NEN-sis)
There seems to be a little
discrepancy with the naming of this plant. It’s funny that I am so used to be
able to zero in on a plant’s identity from its binomial name that it confuses
me when a plant doesn’t fit in. This picture was taken in the parking lot of a
local nursery. Fresh off the truck from California and still blooming! The
flower colors were really outstanding and very eye catching.
I tend to feel guilty about
taking a day off from this blog but it sometimes necessary. It is part of life
now and I always try and make time for it. Today I hope to go out and take some
new flower pictures. I call it “feeding the blog”. The light around here hasn’t
been great but hopefully today will be a little better. Bonus flower snapshot
for Sunday. This picture could have been awesome if I took a little more time
with the set up. Even after some Photoshop work it is still under exposed.

this yellow hibiscus is abundant here in the Philippines. the second photo is beautiful, too. love the vibrant yellow.
I've nver seen a mum like that yellow one, or the red and yellow hibiscus, for that matter. Cool plants, and of course, photos. I really like your phrase, "feeding the blog." Absolutely!
Gorgeous hibiscus!
