Color Inspiration: Tangerine and Orange

Taken yesterday by the pool, these hibiscus blooms are glowing with shimmering oranges and tangerines hues... Hibiscus plants love direct sunlight from dawn until dusk, so you see them in the South and they are especially abundant in the Tropics.

The Hibiscus flower originated in Asia and the Pacific islands

and is the national flower of Malaysia.
