One can't stop wondering at the sense of lushness and profusion of color, texture, and design in this hibiscus. I would say that the flower shows a sort of overweening pride at its own richness. Tropical in way, one may add. There's also the effect of the sun, which gestures to time. If I were to title the portrait, I will suggest "a life in full."

"A life in full"...that is good. It suggests that flowers are a potent shorthand. Photography trains one to see**again**because when we were little, we saw without judgement, in detail, in stereo, in multi-sensory ways. Then we were taught to see "what matters" and to ignore what does not matter. That is how we lose sight as a spiritual complement and focused it to survival and the paycheck. We could do both...
This shot was taken in the early morning sun, softened by cloud cover. That is why it was possible to capture all that detail. Photography is the capture of reflected light. We never really see anything, just its reflection.
This, is one of my favorite photos. Delighted to share.
