Garden Walk at Dorsetshire Hill
On my first afternoon back at our family home in Dorsetshire Hill, I wandered the garden barefoot, guided by memory, birdsong, and bright blossoms. Everything was smaller than I remembered—but alive in ways I had forgotten.
So far in the garden, 5/21

#Hibiscusrosasinensis, known as the #Hawaiianhibiscus, amongst other descriptions is widely grown as an ornamental plant in the tropics and subtropics, but its native range is Vanuatu.
They come in a variety of colours - almost as many as the full spectrum colour pallet from what my research has shown me.
And just look at that stigma and style. Zoom in and take a squiz. Rich in detail.
Magnif!!
