Very nice! Reminds me of a rose of sharon variety that grew in the backyard of my parents' house. :)

And you only needed one beauty, Rick, to accomplish such a wonderful photo! Well done in every way possible! Curious as to how it got its name, though - hurricanes usually come in multiples, too.

A gorgeous plant, and an excellent shot, with the contrasting green, good lighting, nice angle. The colors are beautiful, the curves are graceful, and I appreciate that it's so close up; I like my desktop filled with color.

One small, picayune thing...I wish you had brushed off that speck of soil or whatever it is on the front petal...it just draws my eye like a magnet. Maybe you can clone it out and then this would be 'picture perfect'.

I don't think I could imagine up a flower this pretty. It is truly marvelous the beauty that one flower can exude. A wonderful shot.

A beautifully presented capture with magnficent clarity and colors. What delight to view full screen. Excellent post Rick. Thanks so much for sharing the beauty.

100 percent 10 in the voting booth...even with the tiny blemish on the petal. I love the way the stamen is twisted slightly, so that it adds even more eye appeal to this already striking flower. What a beauty..and you grow this inside, you say? I'm going to look and see if I can find a plant like this. Life's too short not to enjoy all the beauty that's afforded us, and to think I would never have seen this flower, probably, if you hadn't shown it to us. Just love those inner aspects of ruby and how well they "bleed" out onto the snowy white of the petals...scrumptious..thanks :)PJ .in my faves, of course

This is an awesome capture of the hibiscus. I love the clarity of the photograph. Excellent work

Yes! Beautiful! A black background was a very good idea- this way we have a nice contrast here. Very good done closeup.Thank you for sharing.

Nice job presenting this flower Rick. We have a couple of Hibiscus plants in the back yard. The blossoms are huge (Dinner Plate size). With loads of blossoms in August. Only down side is the short life span of the blossom and when they fall off ... the patio ain't pretty. :o) This one you captured is gorgeous.

Where do you purchase these? It's gorgeous and you've presented it fabulously.

Beautiful capture, Thanks for sharing.
