My Aunt's Hibiscus

My Aunt was 90 last Thursday. That's far from a Waine record - her own Aunt died within 6 weeks of 100!

The Hibiscus nearly didn't make it this far as it had appeared to be dead but my Aunt saw one tiny green shoot
and gave it one more chance. She obviously has green fingers judging by this spectacular bloom.

Canon PowerShot SD800 IS
1/60s f/2.8 at 4.6mm full exif

other sizes: small medium large auto

Impressive green-fingeredness! The same happened with my dragon-tree thingy, but that's more down to its stubbornness than my green-fingeredness!

Beautiful flower and your Aunt surely is a wonderful personality. My grandma had green fingers as well :)
