Past And Present

Hibiscus flowers as big as dinner plates. But how to show them? I've done straight on before and looked for another point of view. The flowers are fragile and don't last long, before withering and dropping their petals. So in this image I caught all three stages.

I wish now I had included a flower opening, so the title could be Past, Present And Future. Missed opportunity. I do like textures on things as they decay.
