FLOWER ART

 This is one of my all-time favorite photos.  The flower is a Spider Hibiscus.  It is native to tropical East Africa (Kenya, Tanzania and Mozambique), and was hanging in the garden of our vacation rental in Hawaii, several years ago now.  It popped up on my side bar recently. I thought it would be fun to use the ArtCard app on my iPad.  The results have been very interesting.  Which is your favorite?

  5. Wow, this is a beautiful flower. I can't pick a favorite because I like so many of them. I do prefer the color ones over the black and white though.
