stuny Posted June 4, 2007 Share #2 Posted June 4, 2007 Stephanie - You and your boyfriend were halfway here. Too bad you didn't come here, too. Very nice shot. I believe it is an unusual colored hibiscus. I think I recall seeing normally colored hibiscus in the northern end of the North Island. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
squiff Posted June 5, 2007 Author Share #3 Posted June 5, 2007 very true Stuart ! it's amazing how much flora and fauna are the same, here in NZ and in hawaii, but then I suppose that if you consider that the maori are descended from the Hawaiians it makes sense that they would bring plantlife on the first journeys. s Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artichoke Posted June 5, 2007 Share #4 Posted June 5, 2007 this is a hibiscus and quite lovely while these flower abundantly, the flowers are quite short lived btw, did you use an ir/cut filter for this photograph? I suspect you did not, but am curious if this was the case Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted June 5, 2007 Share #5 Posted June 5, 2007 Howler monkeys of the Manu rainforest (tributary to the Amazon) in Peru make the flowers last less time since they are a favorite, sweet snack. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
