Jultember: mental trip to happy places...

the hibiscus is blooming again, and it is so beautiful. this little potted plant rewards me with a bloom or two every now and then, and it sends me on a mental trip to happy places every single time.

i have a soft spot for these flowers as they always reminds me of being back in the Caribbean. hibiscuses easily outgrow shrub stature in that climate to become towering masses of greenery spotted with flamboyant displays of colors. wherever you may go in the tropics, there is always a hibiscus plant to be found.

stare at it long enough, and you can almost hear the sound of warm breezes rustling the fronds of the coconut trees lining the white, sandy shores. so beautiful.
