is it that hudge as it looks like? If or if not, it is a very beautiful flower and a great shot of it.

Anita, that's a beautiful image of a hibuscus. In my country (the Netherlands) this flower is called 'Chinese Rose' as well. It's a pity that each flower is blooming for just one day. Regards, Cornelius

This has to be the king of all flowers, in my book...there are many that I love, but the hibiscus takes the show for its beauty and elegance. A lovely capture, and aren't you so lucky to be there to take it!!!
