Macro Monday
These are a few of the beauties growing in my garden right now. 
The pink hibiscus has such an interesting center. The Stamen and Pistil remind me of an alien hand, or maybe something Dr. Seuss would draw. Very colorful. It’s too bad each flower only lasts a day. Luckily there are many more to follow. 
The straw flowers have that dried flower feel to them. I have always thought they were very interesting. 
Lastly are the Gazanias. They are such a bright and colorful flower that close at night. They are an easy plant to grow.

I do love hibiscus!!! They too are easy to grow. And the Gazanias, I remember them growing wild in Arizona yards…wild. Each and every Spring they were a delight.
My Macro Monday is a bit on the odd side today…would you believe bricks?!! But it’s all explained below the photos. Here. Come visit with me if you can. Have a great week.

They are so pretty. Gazanias looks like dahlia to me both are pretty though. Happy Monday!
