Yellow Hibiscus Bloom - Sunny Tropical Flower Photography

Sale price$39.00
Material:
Size:

A yellow hibiscus opens its five petals wide and flat, the bloom turned full toward the light with its staminal column rising from the center. Hawaii adopted a native yellow hibiscus, Hibiscus brackenridgei, as its official state flower in 1988 — a species now rare enough in the wild to be listed as endangered, even as yellow cultivars flourish in gardens across the tropics. The flower's broad, papery petals catch and hold light almost like a reflector, which is what gives the bloom its luminous quality here. Framed close and frontal, the image lets the symmetry of the open flower carry the picture. The photograph captures a single bloom at full extension.
