Fallen Sea Hibiscus at Dusk


A fallen Sea Hibiscus flower that has turned from yellow to dusky orangy-red at the end of its short day's lifespan. See the surrounding browned and dried heart-shaped leaves that are characteristic of the Sea Hibiscus plant. Pulau Ubin, 11 July 2005. Photo by November.

"Every moment of this strange and lovely life from dawn to dusk, is a miracle. Somewhere, always a rose is opening its petals to the dawn. Somewhere, always, a flower is fading in the dusk."
