Late one gloomy afternoon the sole bloom on a hibiscus plant on my patio started to open.
About 2 1/2 hours later, the sun was down but the blossom continued to unfurl.
Evidently the spider didn’t care for the changes to his hideaway and he moved on.
The next morning it was raining and even after sunrise I needed to use flash to get a good image.
Raindrops made a nice visual addition.
A few hours later the “star” was fully open.
The next morning, about 40 hours after it started to open, the bloom had completely curled up, done with its show, and promptly fell off.
How nice to have captured it all. Lovely photos, Ellen!
Thanks, Belinda, it was fun to see unfold…probably should have gotten up at midnight for a few images 😁.
Lovely series, Ellen!
Thank you, Donna!
