The wife and I made a vacation trip to Nashville and stayed at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel. The gardens there are beautiful. Here are four Hibiscus that were among the flowers. The grey on this one is really something.
There are so many sights for the eyes.
Can you believe the colors on this one.
This one is quite different.
See other great flowers at the site above.

These are facinating! I've seen yellow or red but never these fascinating mix of color! The first my favorite..stunning!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy watching all your photos and they seems so interesting to me.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen colors like that in hibiscus before..Tenn. must have a delightful climate to be able to produce such wonders..I have always been amazed at Betsy's pix of her gardens and the color she gets on her flowers.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you made the trip..and shot these wonderful photos..they could very well be framed works of art for your decor. Unbelievable color combos and great detail!
Wow, those are beautiful flowers, and you capture them so well. O' and I like your new Photo on top of the page...very lovely!

Nice collection. I would love to go to Nashville some time. Nothing really surprises me anymore with Hibiscus, the breeding has gotten truly amazing.
ReplyDeleteThese flowers are pure and amazing magic.

Those are unusual and very beautiful. I enjoyed your great close-ups.
ReplyDeleteThat's some vivid colors. Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteI don't believe I've ever seen a gray flower before. Neat!
I didn't know they came like this! These are gorgeous. I bet the hummingbirds really love these.
ReplyDeleteThey want to be seen! Very nice!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous flowers! My roses are blooming, so I'll get a few photos tomorrow to share before the neighbors decide to steal these ones.
ReplyDeleteIt's a very unique colors on the hibiscus! I don't think I can find such beautiful colors like these here.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers. I have never seen so many different colors in a single hibiscus flowers.
ReplyDeleteI love hibiscus. The first one is very unusual to me as I have not seen one like that before.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen such a big hibiscus at all let alone the different colours - very nice :D
ReplyDeleteWow! These are incredible! Did you grow all these beauties?
ReplyDeleteFishing Guy, well, those are great photos of some very unusual hibiscus.
ReplyDeleteJack and I stayed in 2002 at the Gaylord in Nashville. Now isn't that an amazing place with nine acres of vegetation under a glass roof and with a "Mississippi steamboat" you can climb aboard to cruise down a manmade river. I bet you took lots of photos and we will see more in days to come. Can't wait.
Final thought: Jack and I had a magic moment at the Gaylord. There was a family of violin players practicing for a music concert on their balcony overlooking the gardens under glass and they were playing of all things THE TENNESSEE WALTZ. What a great memory.
And yes, that is a greaaaaaaaaaat photo at the top of your blog.
These Hibiscus are breathtaking!! Love them all!!!
ReplyDeleteHibiscus are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful your shots.
Hope you´ve had a good stay there.
The flowers are beautiful. I'm glad you got to enjoy the Opryland Hotel and all their beautiful gardens.
ReplyDeleteThose are "stunners" (is that a word?), Tom. I always love the flower shots.

ReplyDeleteWow,those are spectacular flowers.The colors are unique for sure.
