H is for Hibiscus on Hilton Head.

Just realised that I can join in with Jenny's Alphabe-Thursday this week with a triple HHH post.

This beautiful hibiscus plant is growing just beneath my balcony here at Marriott's Surf Watch resort.
The shadow capture was an extra bonus which means I'll be sharing this post with Harriet and her #130 Shadow Shot Sunday gathering.
Why not click on the links and visit both of these great blogs, I know you'll have fun.

Wow! An 'H' triple play - or Hat Trick as we'd say in Canadian hockey language! How lovely that bloom is.

What a beautiful photo... and it looks sunny and warm. Here, it's blowing a howling gale and the rain is battering against the window. Wish I didn't have to go out to work :(

What a lovely stop on our little journey through Alphabe-Thursday! And a Three-fer! Woo hoo!

I haven't been to Hilton Head in a lot of years...I think I need to plan a vacation there...it was always so lovely.

Thanks for letting us tag along, just a bit, on your vacation, though.

Sigh at a sunset for me, too, please!

Thank you for linking.

My Hibiscus lasted one season and then crapped out. There is some special soup that you are supposed to give them, but I don't think it was chicken noodle. Oops!

I always grew Hibiscus when I lived in Florida. They are truly one of my favorite things ever, so I just love this photo.

Here at 6500 feet, they just don't seem to do so well! lol...
