Hibiscus tiliaceus, known as Hau in Hawaiian, has many useful applications, least of which is as a subject for my lense. But I have always been amazed at the huge color shift that only takes an afternoon, when bright yellow petals become dark orange, and the forrest floor is transformed into a Persian carpet for the night. This somewhat tattered blossom struck me with its elegance, and is now immortalized on several Velvia slides.
