Hibiscus 'Pink Flare' open and ready for a glorious day of sunshine. This huge flower took days and days to open, but was well worth the wait.

Incredible James, the way you have captured the shadow. Thumbs up (of the pistil and stamens).

Great perseverance to wait for that right moment, and you nailed it. Thank You! It's gorgeous.
