I rarely take what I call “all of it” photos when I’m working with flora. With this one, though, I wanted to get it all in case I needed help identifying it. I believe it’s a hibiscus and might even be “Rose of Sharon”. If any reader can confirm that I’d love to hear from you!
I did try getting closer, but this plant was on the other side of a cement wall that bordered someone’s property, and I’m not comfortable going over a wall, even while it would have been easy to get over. I’m not sure anything I shot as I leaned in as far as I could will satisfy me, but I’ll let those shots rest a bit: sometimes I see something in a shot a few days after I’ve done the work, when at first I don’t care for anything at all. (Other times it’s just the opposite though: the longer I wait and look, the less I like something!)
