day 194 - hibiscus

hibiscus, or gumamela in my first language, is one of my favourite flowers, along with tulips, crocus and lily of the valley. every time i see one, i always take a picture, like this yellow hibiscus. this is the first time i've seen it all yellow, with the same tone all throughout. i would've wanted to pluck it off the plant but i made great effort not to.

day 182 - hibiscus

hibiscus (or in my native language, gumamela) is one of my favourite flowers (the anthurium, tulips, and crocus being the others, not necessarily in that order). i was waiting for my sister outside a building this afternoon, when i turned my head and there was this tall hibiscus plant and this flower staring right at me. so i took my camera out and took a picture or it. reminded me of my young days back in manila when we had this large hedge of gumamela with bright red flowers and we took them for granted all the time.
