There's been a lot of talk the past few days about golden parachutes for incompetent executives who steered their companies into sandbars and then jumped off with a fantastic severance package.
This post is not about that.
It's not even about parachutes so much as it is a way to share with you a very beautiful and unusual flower that for lack of a better name I call a parachute hibiscus.
There are many colors and varieties of the hibiscus, and we have several. This is quite unusual and is flowering now, It doesn't grow throughout the year like many of the other varieties.
Speaking of parachutes though, it reminds me of when we were kids and we used to make toy parachutes out of handkerchiefs. We would take a handkerchief and tie a piece of string or twine onto each corner and then anchor it with a steel washer, a bolt, or a toy soldier - in a pinch a small rock would do. Then we'd throw them into the air and watch them parachute to the ground. Anyone else remember doing that?
Enjoy the photos, and I hope you don't need a parachute anytime soon - golden or otherwise - unless you're skydiving.
