I've been collecting hibiscus (mainly the double variety) and have a number of different colours. The double variety appeals to me not only because they are bigger, and fabulously showy, but also because they are great as subjects for photography. Their petals appear to have motion...and the flower seems to be doing a dance routine each time I get close to them with my camera.

| This one is decidedly showy! |
 |
| See what I mean...this one just won't keep still...she is swaying to the music of a waltz. |
 |
| A Viennese Waltz! |
 |
| This ballerina has just done a pirouette and is about to take a bow. |
 |
| The single hibiscus is more sedate, this one is looking down in a pensive mood. |
 |
| This one is looking up, as if posing for a glamour shot. |
 |
| Pure and demure... |
 |
| Here's a double in action, wings spread out, ready to cha cha cha! |

I like this rhumba posture, don't you? This is a flamenco, hot and fiery!  Smokin' hot colours of the samba!  She's dressed for dancing, but could she be a wallflower after all?  memories of a shy dancer (a tanka form) shy dancer looks down twists the programme in her hands music fills her soul longs to step onto the floor some one asks her, she shrinks back alone by the wall heart pounding to the rhythm feet crossed, motionless night creeps on midst revelry trapped in bubble, she breaks free (Haiku for Sensational Haiku Wednesday) time of timid youth fettered by painful reserve prepare to blossom Poets Rally (Week 58) Poetry Picnic (Nostalgia, Memories) Sensational Haiku Wednesday (Prompt- Preparation ) |
