Rich Impressions

Down the street at 1033
red hibiscus flowers grow;
Climbing up the mailbox post…
Putting out blooms for a day
before wilting away.
Rich red hues in morning sunshine…
show the world that one day of beauty
is enough to remember for a lifetime!

  3. So vibrant – both flower and quadrille, Dwight! I’d love to grow hibiscus in our garden but it’s just too cool and damp here. I didn’t realise they only last a day, but as you say ‘one day of beauty is enough to remember for a lifetime!’

  6. We have several plants here with short bloom cycles; but several days seems to be the norm. Butterflies have short lives too, yet look what beauty they share with us.
