I’m not sure if it’s their fragrance or the fact that they remind me of Hawaii, but I love hibiscus.  Here are three hibiscus shots in various stages of development as captured at the Conservatory of Flowers in Golden Gate Park.

Hibiscus Photo #1.  The still green bud of a flower forming.

Hibiscus Photo #2.  The first hint of color appears.

Hibiscus Photo #3.  In full bloom.
