He Has Made Everything Beautiful In Its Time

This is the hibiscus flower that I photographed earlier. They have a short life span. One to two days. What is amazing to me is that when they first form the flower petals are wrapped tightly in a twisted form. As their time comes to an end the petals twist back except for the tips.

Interesting observation. Very nicely presented. Like a dancer or ballerina who has folded at the end of the dance.
