This flower somehow always makes me think about an elegant lady. Maybe its the straight growth, the elegant setting in which the single blooms appear....

Therse are beautiful. I took a picture of my hibiscus flowers the other day but they didn't turn out this nice.
these are gorgeous Petra....
the first one photo is stunning and I think your comparison to an elegant lady is very fitting..
have a great weekend :)
Absolutely beautiful and excellent photography...My favorite flowers.
hi dena - these are no hibiscus blossoms but "gladiolus" and belong to the family if Iridaceae (the plant family of the iris).
Thank you for visiting!
Hi Kim - thanks again for your kind words - have a great weekend too (although when I look at my clock - it might me already over in your area - LOL)
Hi talen, thank you for your kind words. Somehow I love these also very much. Many people think they are so common - but I don't and if you care to take a close look - the blooms are beautiful in their details.
And they look really elegant in a big vase...although I prefer living flowers in their natual habitat instead of the dead ones in the vase...
Absolutely stunning...the color the shapes, everything is just gorgeous!!! You are truly a talented photographer...
Cheers
Hello Heather - this is very kind of you to say!
Your photos look like they could have been painted by Georgia O'Keeffe. Gorgeous. Do you paint? They'd make wonderful watercolor models.
