Happy Independence Day Autumn Belle! That hibiscus is an old world hibiscus, they were around long before the bigger and fancier ones. It is still a charmer and it seems resistant to many of the pests that plague that family.

Keats The Sunshine Girl said...

Happy Merdeka! The hibiscus is surely pretty, curly and whirly!!

Floridagirl said...

Beautiful choice for this meme! I saw H. schizopetalus at a nursery recently and so wished I had room for one. This garden has gotten too full.

Hello AutumnBelle

I hope you are having a relaxing independance day celebration.

I have to say that never ever have I seen such a beautiful hibiscus as this. Spectacular is the only word to describe it.

debsgarden said...

The plant world is amazing! That hibiscus doesn't look like any of its cousins that grow in my part of the world. Thanks for sharing photos of a gorgeous, exotic flower.

Rosey said...

Nothing compares to that Hibiscus! I have a rubber stamp of Hibiscus and I used to make cards with it. Maybe I will get it out again.

Lovely!

Hibiscus can really change any garden. I have six species, the oddest one: Hibiscus Cannabinus...

Nice post...

MinnieRunner said...

It looks like a Gumamela :) Can we use the petals to create bubbles too? :)

Happy Independence Day, Autumn Belle! I love the dainty, delicate look of this hibiscus. And your photographs are fabulous!

I haven't seen a hibiscus garden in these parts...love the idea! What a great place to visit--- that must be!

Barbara said...

I've never seen a hibiscus like that - you can see where it got its name from. Nice photos.

I have not seen this hibiscus, it is facing towards the ground! How interesting!

This is the first time I've seen such type of hibiscus...very interesting

That Hibiscus is extraordinary - so delicate. Its size is amazing. I keep them in pots and fear for them on the dark winter days.

Jacqueline said...

Love this elegant beauty! As usual, you've done great justice with your splendid photography, A.Belle!

I've always loved these flowers and I'm lucky enough to have this plant in my yard here on Oahu, Hawaii. Didn't know their name though, so thanks for sharing!
