Hollyhock or hibiscus or whatever - certainly our Christian will know better. My modest FF taken one summer night. My favourite colour too. SAM & SAAB

Nice colours and good clarity for a night shot SAM. No wonder because Agent B knows how to hold the flashlight between his teeth.

I am sure that is a tiny microphone in the center, SAM.
I bet this beauty could tell some stories.

I'm glad that you've taken this very fine image on one of your nightly missions SAM. When you had delayed capturing it till the next day, it was gone because a hibiscus flower last only for one day.

For that reason too, I can't agree with Owd Fella Tick (OFT). Because of its short life a hibiscus flower isn't suitable to hide a tiny microphone. For such purposes one can better take a plastic rose, LOL!!!

Very good F² posting my friend!

Regards, and the usable hug for SAAB, Cornelius.

It's a beauty SAM - a hollyhock I believe by looking at the center.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
