Hibiscus in Ice

five-petaled bloom of a hibiscus, but instead of soft, velvety petals, each one is translucent and crystalline.

Petals: They’d curve outward like ice blades, catching light and refracting it into shimmering blues and silvers. The edges might appear frosted, as if dusted with snow.

Center: The iconic hibiscus stamen would rise from the middle, a slender icy column with tiny frozen beads at the tip, resembling frosted pearls.

Texture: Smooth and glossy, but with subtle ridges carved into the ice to mimic the natural veins of the flower.

Overall effect: It would feel both fragile and majestic, like a tropical bloom preserved in winter’s embrace.
