Flower of an Hour.

The name tells you just how elusive it can be. On a recent trip to the Midwest, I was blessed to come upon Hibiscus trionum from the Mallow family some yards off the Mississippi River.

This charming little flower (invasive) opens only on sunny days and only for a short time. It was already closing a few minutes after the image was taken.

What new-to-you things have you come across lately?
