Combo

I'm not sure I'm allowed to do this or not, but I'm all about resourcefulness these days. Today I'm posting one entry for three photo memes - Macro Monday, Today's Flowers, and Bloomin' Tuesday!

The first shot is my macro (well, my close up anyway) of the center of a very unusual Hibiscus flower...


And the whole flower...

These were taken at Selby Gardens in Sarasota Florida. I've lived in Florida my entire life, but don't think I've ever seen a Hibiscus like this one!
