These two photos are from the Des Moines Zoo garden. The size of the flowers are at least eight to ten inches across. I guess that is why the common name for them is dinner plate hibiscus. I lost my pink plant like this but I have a new start of one of the plants that was a gift from a neighbor. I doubt it blooms this year but it will get it's root structure established this year.
Have a view of my daily photos or photos from my past. We all need to document the world around us visually. What I see is mostly what you get.
