Blue Hibiscus by flygirl

Blue Hibiscus

This is an Alyogyne Huegelii also known as Blue Hibiscus. The common name is rather misleading. The "blue hibiscus" is neither "blue" nor a "hibiscus". They are purple once in full bloom. I did this earlier and with computer majic made it red. Some of you wanted to see it in it natural colour. I will post one later in full bloom so you can see it in purple.

Thank you all for your kind comments and FAV's. They are so appreciated.
Beautiful

Yes, rather misleading, neither blue nor a hibiscus! But still pretty all the same...:)

@scrappy Thanks and you are probably right. I think it looks like a rose at this stage.
