Hibiscus mutabilis - A single flower variety that doesn't change colour

1

Hibiscus mutabilis flowers usually open white in the morning and changes colour to pink as the day gets warmer in the late afternoon. However, this variety with single flowers that is currently grown at the Secret Garden of 1-Utama does not change colour but stays the same the whole day.

Beautiful! We call it Rose of Sharon. I have one in my garden too and love the way it changes color. :)

This is a very beautiful hibiscus but I notice the leaves and stems look very different from the hibiscus plants I have come across.

I came via Blotanical, i wonder if this is really your last post as it is already 6 Sept and this is posted 28 Aug. I love its colors however the flowers are so small compared to the whole plants and leaves, haven't seen them here yet.

Autumn Belle said...

At first I thought this hibiscus looks like the Rose of Sharon.

Andrea, this is certainly not my latest post as at now. The latest post is about Hari Raya and Independence Day of Malaysia. I have gone to my plot in Blotanical and 'ping'it. See how it goes. Thanks for informing me!
