Purple For this picture I used an exposure time of 2.5 seconds. To make the total picture a little purple, I moved the camera in a circle around the flower after the flash light had fired. I like the effect it has given. Geotagged,Hibiscus syriacus,Rose of Sharon,The Netherlands Click/tap to enlarge Promoted

"Hibiscus syriacus" is a species of flowering plant in the mallow family Malvaceae, native to India and much of Asia. It was given the epithet "syriacus" because it had been collected from gardens in Syria. Common names include rose of Sharon, Syrian ketmia or rose mallow, St Joseph's rod and Rosa de Sharon.
