Description
Square closeup photograph of a beautiful double-ruffled apricot-colored hibiscus blossom in the garden. Soft leafy green background includes another blossom out of focus. Lovely flowing lines with tack-sharp detail on the main flower, especially the pistils and stamen.
Hibiscus are in the mallow family, Malvaceae, sometimes called rose mallow. A large vivid flower often made into tea or worn in the hair, and the symbol of many nations, hibiscus bloom daily in spring and summer in tropical or subtropical areas around the world. This double-ruffled apricot hibiscus plant thrives outdoors in Texas.
