WIDE OPEN

Sugar Land, Texas

Hundreds of buds... but only one bloom is wide open on my Confederate Rose tree.

Hibiscus mutabilis, also known as the Confederate rose or the cotton rosemallow, is a plant noted for its flowers.

A fabulous bloom.
Sam Rua02-Oct-2013 21:47
Gorgeous bloom, nicely captured, Lynn. The leaves and buds remind me of Pima cotton, which is native to our area. The blooms, while pretty in their own right, don't compare to what you have captured.
