A YELLOW HIBISCUS

From my garden and dedicated to the Australian Soccer Team. Yesterday I watched them play a magnificent game on tv against soccer giants Holland. To me, they outplayed the masters throughout the game and it was only because of their in-front-of-goal experience that the Dutch managed to clinch victory.
Thank you very much for looking and for your wonderful comments and fav's on yesterday's picture.

My husband and son appreciate your comments, I do too but I haven't been watching the soccer as closely as they have :)

[Dione Giorgio]

@bella_ss Because my country does not have a national team to boast of, I follow all the matches between other nations without any prejudice to who wins or loses.
