Bill, the colors are magnificent and the dew drops bring a sense of realism to the image. It's definitely one of your best shots. Impressive!

Very interesting take on a hibiscus. Very nice detail and I love the water droplets

Lovely shot, Bill. Different but very nice comp. The colors and water drops add great visual interest. devil

But I must admit I'm a little confused about what's going on. Is that a cyclamen in the middle?
Michael: Not a cyclamen but rather some form of sheathing that attends the center of all this variety. It does look like a cyclamen though. cool

Yes Bill, I too like the colors shining for the rain. I have never seen this type of hibiscus, two flowers in one flower.
