If you can't beat them...

Spinning Hibiscus.

I can't remember when we had a day with such constant rain.  Varying from light to heavy but constantly there and now at 8:30...............        Still raining!

We were beginning to suffer from "cabin fever" so needed to get out and about.  Not feeling particularly hardy we wanted somewhere in doors where we could get a bit of wandering round and of course a coffee.  As the afternoon was getting on we made the quick easy decision togo to Orton Grange garden centre.  Lots of covered area and in the lighter rain we could have a look outside.

Looking for blips I/we remembered the effect of multiple exposure  on flowers.  So I used 5 exposures slightly rotating for each aiming at this Hibiscus.  The flower must have been at least 10 cm (4 ") across.

For my own records I got a beautiful Phalaenopsis, small flowered and lovely shades of browny orange.  The spike has 18 open flowers and 7 unopened buds.  Why they chose to reduce it to nearly 1/3 its original price I have no idea.
