Beautiful picture! I did a little search and here is some information about them: <<Hibiscus «huh BIHS kuhs or hy BIHS kuhs», is the name of a group of plants that belong to the mallow family. The swamp rose mallow grows wild in marshes in the Eastern United States, sometimes growing 7 feet (2 meters) high. It has white or pink flowers 4 to 7 inches (10 to 18 centimeters) across. The rose of Sharon, also called althaea, is native to Asia. But United States gardeners often cultivate it as a small tree or shrub for borders and background. Its flowers resemble those of the hollyhock.The tropical Chinese hibiscus has striking blossoms that the Chinese sometimes use to stain their eyebrows and teeth. Both the rose of Sharon and the Chinese hibiscus can have single or double flowers that vary in color from white, pink, and red to lavender. Okra is a summer annual hibiscus of the vegetable garden. Its sticky pods are used in soups and stews. Other kinds of hibiscus are grown for their fiber.Scientific classification. Hibiscus belong to the mallow family, Malvaceae. They make up the genus Hibiscus. The swamp rose mallow is Hibiscus moscheutos. The rose of Sharonis H. syriacus and the Chinese hibiscus, H. rosasinensis. Okra is H. esculentus.>>
Happy Friday C, Hibiscus are so beautiful, some of them have huge flowers. We have to bring our plants inside during the winter. Love how this one is darker in the center. ~D
