  1. These hibiscus are planted along a monsoon drain (ditch) at the edge of our neighbourhood. I think they are quite pretty, so do enjoy!

  9. They are really pretty. I don't think I've seen such "fancy" ones before, thanks for sharing them!

  10. I really like these ones, they are huge and showy - almost as grand as roses, only thing is that they last only a day.

    I'm sure there are a lot of butterflies, bees and sunbirds to visit these flowers. :)

    I guess its a Bunga Raya season now for most Malaysian bloggers

  17. Dear Sunny, Mary Delle, Jams o donnel, Hocking Hills Gardener, Joanne, Rossey Pollen, Jessica, Meems, Catherine, James, Muhammad, Steph, Bangchik, Kanak, Terra, Daisy.

    Thank you all so much for your lovely comments.

    These hibiscus are the planted by the residents in my housing area. Yes, all of them and next to a ditch.

    James, I do agree with you that these hybrids looks like roses, especially the bright red ones. Eventhough they lasts only for a day, there are many new blooms everyday to replace the spent ones. Isn't it great?

    Rosey Pollen, we can pluck the flowers and stick them next to our ears just like the pretty Hawaiian maidens. However, it is not advisable to cut from the stalk because these flowers will drop off before the day's end. The plucked flowers can be used for floral baths and eaten as salads. Yes, the flower is edible!

  18. Steph, I read from wikipedia that hibiscus are polyploids, therefore the hyrids may be endless.

    James, you are right, hibiscus flowers do attract quite a number of big and beautiful butterflies.

  19. Lovely colours and congrates to the residents who palnted them all.

  20. Autumn Belle your hibiscus are really gorgeous. Here on my island many of them have been attacked by disease and have died out.

  21. A couple of these are very unique and just lovely.

  22. Colorful hibiscus, but they dont last long like the bougainvilleas, luckily hibiscus are always growing and new blooms are coming when the old one falling.
