I enjoyed photographing the stems in winter:

Nice series, Paul, I've seen these but never thought to photograph them.
Focus is spot-on, and love Ferrania green! Looks like a blemish on the
film in the last, lower portion to the right of center. |

It might be my monitor, but I would have 'em underexposed 0.3 - 0.7 stops to get the color better, they do look a bit washed out (the reds especially) _________________ Klaus - Admin

Each bloom opens pale pink, but slowly darkens during the day, then turns almost red at day's end as it closes, and dies off the next day.
IIRC, this hibiscus was called the confederate rose because it symbolized the dying of so many young men who fought for the CSA ... _________________ Paul
