I am not sure what they are right at the moment either but a fine shot of them. Red can be so hard to capture right and you got this done well. Even got the petal textures so well. Nice work.

WOW! Are they ever beautiful. They might be hibiscus. This would be my guess.

This is related to Hibiscus and Rose of Sharon - sometimes called saucer flower. Usually I see it in white but this is a gorgeous crimson shade and the capture of the texture is terrific.

---I haven't a clue what these are---

You gave the answer by yourself Jimbob: big red foofies, lol.

Know almost for sure that Carol and Kathy are right, as to me it's one of the species of a hibiscus. Can see it by the shape of the budds and the leaves.

Very fine F² post, my friend.

Regards, Cornelius.

I like the texture of these unusual flowers, Jimbob. The colour is beautiful and the way the sunlight falls on them looks great.

The colours remind me of those taco-trays you get a the sports bar, with a nice cold jug of something to chug. [Nope, not going to mention the flowers next time we take our stools in front of a hockey game.]

Jimbob - Looks like a poppy. Did you ask the Japanese Beetle that was there enjoying the leaf? Thad

Place me in the I don't know camp. But they sure are pretty flowers. Beautiful deep colours and clarity in your photo. Great work!
