Orange hibiscus
I went to the Volunteer Park Conservatory in Seattle today. Be sure and see the Angels Trumpets (brugmansia) before they are finished blooming! I like brugmansia so much that I put them on the cover of my book. Look for a post about the ones I saw today soon.
As usual at the VPC, there is much beauty to see. This flame-colored orange hibiscus really caught my eye. It felt like I was in Hawaii!
You might visit Mellow Yellow Monday, Macro Monday, Today’s Flowers, Floral Friday, Flower Art Friday, Weekend Flowers, SOOC Sunday (straight out of the camera), and Ruby Tuesday 2 for more interesting photos around the planet. As always, if there is only one single photo below, clicking on Sara’s Fave Photos Blog above will reveal the latest images. Try it!

I grew up with hibiscus blossoms, and I have always loved them. Is that coleus I see behind this bloom?
Gorgeous, Sara.

Ah yes, Beverly, a coleus to the left, and if I’m not mistaken, a Boston fern to the right. Framing is everything!

What a gorgeous color! Is the Volunteer Park Conservatory open to the public? I sure would love to go there the next time I head to Seattle. Thanks for once again sharing with Today’s Flowers, and have a great week.

She looks a little out of the way a robust poppy … the leaves are not so tender and flatterige, as a poppy, but I think it’s beautiful! I wish you from my heart a loving weekend! Louise-Lotte
