Alien Fingers Reaching Out

This flower looks like a Hibiscus, but the leaves are different from the Hibiscus plant / flower nearby. It looks like an alien insect reaching its little fingers out.
Thank you for viewing and commenting, it is appreciated very much.

Very pretty shot, Linda. Love your title, too.

The flower sure looks like that of a hibiscus. Great shot and composition.

A rather exotic plant...I can imagine this flower is very typical of Texas...

[Pyrrhula]

Great capture of this : not a Hibicus but still a beautiful, flower.

Spectacuar colour contrast! Mmh, if it looks like an alien insect...maybe it is an alien insect! ;)

Very pretty! It's probably a hybrid and what a great color!

@edorreandresen Thank you! I could just imagine a lady of long ago, placing one of these behind her ear.

@pattyblue @mittens Thank you! I have probably read too many books and watched too many sci-fi shows, probably what makes me see things like this, ha ha.

[Linda]

@sangwann It does, but the leaves of the plant were very different.

[Linda]

@happypat Thank you. Or perhaps Mexico, if not Texas. I could see it being put behind the ear of a young lady.

@pyrrhula Thank you, The leaves were very different from the Hibiscus plant nearby. The leaves had three to five jagged edges per stem.

[Linda]

@lastrami_ Thank you! Perhaps it is!

[Linda]

@olivetreeann Thank you! The leaves were totally different from the Hibiscus plant nearby. It was outside a Mexican restaurant.

@ninaganci Thank you! I feel that it was more vibrant and colorful in person than in the photo.
