The Size of a Dinner Plate 2019

Hibiscus Bloom

New to my collection this year, this plant produces the largest hibiscus blooms I've ever seen!!!
A photo doesn't even begin to do this bloom justice. It was positively huge and unbelievably gorgeous.

Found at the Home Depot garden center, the plant unfortunately was not tagged as a named variety. So unlike many of my other hibiscus plants, I don't know its "name". To be very honest, I didn't even totally know what I was buying because it wasn't in bloom when I first got it. What a wonderful surprise. Sadly, the flowers only last a single day.

To get an idea of the size of this flower, visit this photo https://pbase.com/image/169281462
of a "normal sized", red hibiscus. The leaves on both plants are the same size. But the blossom on this variety dwarfs the leaves.

That is huge! Love yellow with the deep red. Beautiful flower and photo. It may only last a day but there is no way you'll not notice it. V.
