Lifespan Of The Hibiscus Flower

Budding....the beginning

Very quickly the bud opens......

In no time,  it has expanded  fully into flower.....

Late afternoon the flower begins to wither.....

Near nightfall......it has shriveled and fallen to the ground......
This beautiful  plant continually blooms....replenishing
itself with new buds and flowers all summer long.
