Sugar Land TX

Entry for Weekly Informal Challenge #162 - Delicate
Huge, but delicate flowers. My Confederate Rose Hibiscus tree is blooming.
Hard to get a picture, the flowers are on the top of the tree right now. The tree is taller than my one story house.
Soon flowers will come in on the lower branches and I'll get more pictures.

Here is a YouTube video with various Confederate Rose Trees featured.
