But here are two points of view of this hibiscus. My neighbor gave it to me last year and it survived the winter and the summer too. I had a dinner plate hibiscus a few years back and this one seems a little smaller that my first one. The smooth perfect circle leads me to believe that it is why they call it a dinner plate.
It coloring is almost unbelievable. It has such delicate textures with subtle coloring. I learned from the past that the hibiscus plant doesn't come up very early in the spring. In fact they look dead from last years growth, but leave them alone. A month longer than you will expect, they will start to shoot up new growth.

This is one of my favorite blooms. Many years ago, John and I had one of these at our first home. Here in Georgia, the Japanese beetles love the plant but a little sevin dust helps. Thanks for reminding me what a pretty and delicate plant this is.
I think this is a Southern Belle Hybiscus, it's beautiful.
I came across some when I was running some errands yesterday and took some pictures. Great minds must think alike!
Hope your weekend is delightful.

The Hibiscus is gorgeous, I don't think I've ever seen it close up before. I like the new header, that was a surprise.
What a beautiful hibiscus. Glad it has survived for you and given you those wonderful blooms.

Nice flower images. And I really like the photos from the Jacobson Center at the state fairgrounds. That is an incredible building.
I still might make it to the fair yet tomorrow! Heh!
these are probably the two best photos you have ever posted, Larry....just gorgeous!!
Indeed it looks like a beautiful dinner plate! I like it's soft colors. We have a red hibiscus plant in our home.
Simply perfect blooms, I can see why you like them:)
