Although referred to as "jamaica flowers" they are actually hibiscus calyxes (the cover over the blossoms before they open). The flowers are used in Mexico for a tangy deep red "cooler" called Aqua de Jamaica. Please view full screen. Comments/critiques are most welcomed :) Thank you for stopping by. ~Lori. Edit: As Cindy so kindly pointed out, I believe the correct name for the non-alcoholic drink is "Agua de Jamaica", and not Aqua.

Beautiful, Lori. I thought it was an underwater view because I read aqua as agua. lol It would be beautiful as that too!

What a beautiful creation Lori. Not only are the colours awesome but the movement looks almost like a dance. This would be a beautiful design on a silk scarf. I am a scarfaholic...and always notice gorgeous designs I guess. You really did a most delicate looking job on this, thank you so much. Verena
