These are beautiful shots! Having posted about hibiscus on my blog today, I particularly enjoyed the close-up of that flower. The plumbago strikes a chord with me too.

One of my recent fascinations is the BBC Planet Earth and Blue Planet series, which show so many fabulous natural sights and insights.
