Oh Darla it's gorgeous! I love that color. You did a great job on those closeups!
It's beautiful! And you did a great job capturing the sequence. Lovely yellow color.
You surely have excellent eye for details in the way you gather yourself to take these beautiful photos. I'm so impressed!
I'm glad you include the scientific name and its English name of this plant. Am not very good at plant nomenclatures.
Thanks for the visit Darla. I'm truly honoured. Have a nice weekend!
How pretty! How exciting to get that first bloom! The shots are excellent! :-)

What a beauty! I know nothing about okra or ornamental okra but it has beautiful blooms.I love seeing blooms I never saw before.
It is gorgeous!Looks like cross between a hibiscus and a magnolia.
That is gorgeous! I bet it's great having your Mom's flowers in your garden. Is that where you got your love of flowers from?
I like the way it looks as it's ready to close. Very pretty.
What a gorgeous bloom on that plant! I love that you were able to collect seed from your Mom's garden. :)
Are you kidding me? Six to ten feet high???? Wow! And it has a nice spread across too~ That's my kind of flower.
It's beautiful!!!!
"Man is it HOT"---Manihot!!!!! How's that???? I love that Hibiscus. It's unlike any I have seen. Thanks!!!
