I returned outside to get another picture of the same wild flower from a different angle. I was curious to get a closer look at what was inside this little basket-like container. It had rained this morning and I found the "bud" closed like it was protecting its contents. I just found this so amazing since it appears lifeless and as Spring arrives it will be replaced by new growth.
Then as I arrived home, I noticed the hibiscus buds had closed from the rain as well. I did not realize that the "buds" continued to open and close throughout the winter.
It just shows what you can learn if you just take the time to see and take notice of your surroundings.
