Lost in a hibiscus plantation

This last weekend I visited a small but dense and colorful plantation of hibiscus, some 20 min biking from home. Although clearly well-structured as seen from the heights, while walking inside the plantation I got lost for a minute while taking photos here and there. Come see the best snapshots!

Let’s begin with the plantation, which belongs to an enterprise that sells the plants and gardening services:

I just went down and got close to the fields:

The next shots are already inside the fields, while visiting the sections for purple, pink, and white-pink-red flowers:
