Only one day, then poof, they are gone

Hibiscus blossoms last one day, this one was starting to curl it’s petal’s edges, if I had lingered a couple of hours it would have been closed.

I didn’t know that Lou Ann. Love that little centre there looking so sharp among the more blurry petals.

Nice image full of brilliant colour Lou Ann:)

Such a brilliant and sharp centre - just like a little pin cushion

A lovely shot!

All depends on which hibiscus. So many varieties. Lovely capture of a vibrant flower.

@happypat I will listen to Sharon
on my observation about the 24 hour bloom. This is on Lori’s Texas Star Hibiscus and these blooms just last the one day. @sugarmuser good to know! @carole_sandford @beryl @pcoulson @carolmw @photographycrazy @ludwigsdiana @mittens @365karly1 @nicolecampbell Thank you so much for your comments, I appreciate each one!

Beautiful shot

That's interesting to know that there's a variety that does that - never knew - seems a shame for all that beauty to last only a day - have to keep a close eye on them :)

Beautiful macro
