A Few Members of the Mallow Family

by hankinslawrenceimages | Oct 2, 2019 | Malvaceae Family

When most people think of the Mallow family – they think of hibicus blossoms. And I do love photographing hibiscuses. I also enjoyed photographing the flowering maple blossoms that I had no idea were members of the Mallow family. But when I looked at them – and thought about their structure and what hibiscus blossoms look like – I could see immediately how they fit into the same family. Here are a few photos of members of the Mallow family that I photographed at Longwood Gardens

Golden Mist and Voodoo Queen Hibiscus

As I’m working my way back through all the sets of photos I’ve never weeded or edited, I found some photos of the hibiscuses at Longwood Gardens. I thought I’d share them with you today.

Hibiscus at the New York Botanical Garden

On my recent visit to the New York Botanical Garden to the Georgia O’Keeffe show featuring her paintings from Hawaii, I had the chance to photograph the beautiful hibiscus blossoms in and around the conservatory. The hibiscuses echoed the wonderful tropical themes of the other flowers in the display and O’Keeffe’s work.

Here are a few of my photos of the hibiscus blossoms at the New York Botanical Garden.

A Few Hibiscus Blossoms

I found some hibiscus photos I’d taken and never share with you – thought I’d share them with you today. I don’t know about you – but I love seeing and photographing hibiscus blossoms. I love the large blossoms, the bold colors and the wonderful patterns created by the veins in the petals.

Hope you enjoy seeing them as much as I enjoyed photographing them 🙂

Pearl Hibiscus – New Photo

by hankinslawrenceimages | Sep 3, 2017 | Malvaceae Family, New Photos

I’ve recently added a new photo – Pearl Hibiscus – to the shop on my BeautifulFlowerPictures.com website.

I loved seeing this beautiful white with pink highlights Pearl Hibiscus on a visit to a local garden. It was such a bright cheery flower to see on the cold winter day when I photographed it.

Pearl Hibiscus is available as a matted print on my website.
