Uploaded: March 01, 2013
The Hibiscus trees growing in our front yard put on many beautiful displays. This is a new bloom unfurling, that not only caught my eye, but also that of a tiny ant! Can you find it?

How beautiful Phil. I have never seen a hibiscus at this stage of life. They won't grow where I live. Very delightful image of new life unfolding. :)-Laura #10593186

Lovely colors and terrific clarity, Phil. I think the ant's half-hidden in the shadows on the flower...? #10594235JO ANN CLEVELAND March 04, 2013
