A Great White

I believe this is a type of hibiscus called a Great White. They started to bloom this morning for the first time right outside my office building in the blistering heat. Even now, after 7 pm, it's 92°F with a 101°F heat index because of high humidity. That's a heat index over 38°C. It's too soon for this heat!

I like the beautiful white flower centered in the composition. Nice clean look to this.
