Hiciscus III

I already showed some images of hibiscus flowers found at the Bosque, including a gigantic one on the pinkish side. I mentioned having planted the bright red variety but that it was growing slowly because of shade from a neighboring tree. I couldn't believe it today when I saw saw it in bloom. One single bloom the size of a saucer plate! What's amazing is that the plant is no more than 14 inches high. Imagine when it grows up!
