These crimson beauties littered the entry road to the beach access...their rich color highlighted by the bright sunshine. Looks a bit like a hibiscus flower but it falls from a 30 foot tall tree, not a shrub - and the petals spiral out from a base, unlike our typical hibiscus. One more identification mystery - but while its name remains a mystery, its beauty is in plain view. 3rd Ave N & Gulf of Mexico, Naples, FL
