RHH's photos with the keyword: hibiscus

Photographed in the Hot Springs area of Big Bend National Park, this is Paleface Rock Hibiscus.

These were blooming and were photographed in the convent area of Mission San José in San Antonio, Texas.

These photos were all taken in what was once the convent of Mission San José in San Antonio, Texas. The convent is now roofless but the walls and arches remain and are decorated with plants and flowers. Mission San José was one of five Spanish missions established along the San Antonio River in the early eighteenth century.

We saw these trees along the Daintree River and again up at Cape Tribulation. They are one of Australia's native Hibiscus. The flowers have a purple center that is not very visible because they do not open widely and tend to hang like bells.

“And Mordecai went out from the presence of the king ... with a great crown of gold, and with a garment of fine linen and purple: and the city of Shushan rejoiced and was glad.” Esther 8:15.

The quote from which this motto comes from an essay by William Hazlitt: " Horas non numero nisi serenas - is the motto of a sundial near Venice. There is a softness and harmony in the words and and in the thought unparalleled."
