Hibiscus

My favourite flowers are Hibiscus flowers. They are intense, their buds grow for weeks, slowly expanding in to a large cone-shaped bud and then open up overnight, only to flower for twenty-four hours. Then they close and die. I have four Hibiscus plants in my flat (and three begonias, one orchid, one tiny cactus and one unidentified fat-leaf thing). Two of them flowered today and I got a photo (with my mobile phone camera). They are beautiful flowers. The point is to actually show the shot here but as Blogger is being an arse right now it won't load my photo. I'll try again later...
