A few months ago, I posted some photos of several hibiscus flowers I photographed over the winter. Recently, I’ve edited a few more photos of some spectacular hibicus flowers.
All of these photos were taken at Longwood Gardens.
First is the Fifth Dimension Hibiscus. The first time I photographed this flower, the petals were a striking silver and yellow.

On a more recent visit, the flowers on the Fifth Dimension Hibiscus plant were orange, pink and silver. Both versions of the Fifth Dimension Hibiscus are spectacular.

Another very striking hibiscus blossom was the Kiss and Tell Hibiscus. The deep red color of the petals on this flower is amazing.

And finally, the Erin Rachel Hibiscus, with petals of a slightly softer shade of pink and peach.

The hibiscus blossoms at Longwood Gardens are always spectacular. It seems that every time I visit, I discover another new gorgeous variety of this wonderful flower.
Great shots! Love this one – http://hankinslawrenceimages.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/hibiscus_fifth_dimension_0822.jpg?w=600&h=400
Thanks
I think the orange, pink and silver one is my favorite too!
Orange, pink and silver gets a nod from me, also! Framing on that is quite nice.
Dear Patty,
This is better than any of the other “inspirational” emails that I get everyday! I am beginning to really look forward to these beautiful messages from Mother Nature! She is such a loving Mother to provide such Awe and Wonder! 🙂
Love and Blessings,
Rachel

Hi Patty,
The orange, pink and silver version is breathtaking. I’ve noted it as the next one I must purchase from you. I love, absolutely love, having your Helmar Tulip Petals here in my office. Thank you for capturing the beauty in nature as you do.
Such a gift you have.
