It is also fatter.<br /><br />Kiki, these are not from my garden.<br /><br />Barry, Kanak, Frances. Sunita, Rosey, Jessica, Catherine, Ms Daisy, Charlotte, Wendy, Hocking Hills Gardener, Kaija.<br />Thank you so much for the visits and lovely comments. These hibiscus are indeed eye-catching and they really stand out. The flowers in the 3rd and 4th picture are from the nursery and it was what attracted customers like me to go and have a peek. I ended up buying something else there. The flowers has a sturdy stalk to support them and even the leaves are large, quite different from that of the common hibiscus. I doubt that these jumbos can survive long in my garden, therefore I didn’t buy them.<br /><br />Stephanie, the red hibiscus has strong and thick petals while the white one’s petals are very thin and fragile. That’s why it is folded.<br /><br />Meredith, thanks for the information on Brazilian rock rose. Today I learnt a new plant.<br /><br />Calico, Snowcatcher,Rainfield61, Welcome to my blog and thank you very much for the nice comments.<br /><br />Terra, Welcome to my blog. Yes, I have 3 hibiscus plants in my garden. I am growing the rosa sinensis brilliant red, the true Malaysian national flower like the one you see at my top sidebar. To read the previous post on my hibiscus, you can click on the picture there. The 2nd plant has variegated leaves and a lighter shade of red flower petals. The 3rd plant has larger bright red flowers with orange outlines.<br /><br />Now, I truly understand why our first Prime Minister selected the hibiscus. I love the common type as well as the variants too.Autumn Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00818422090556602092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1660561043857404056.post-52066306491844925872009-09-18T07:26:14.567+08:002009-09-18T07:26:14.567+08:00Terima kasih for taking these photos and posting t...Terima kasih for taking these photos and posting them so I can enjoy them.<br />Hibiscus are brilliant in their color and form.<br />I see you took these in a park and nursery; do you grow any?Terra https://www.blogger.com/profile/04396481049075747940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1660561043857404056.post-73374500494370255462009-09-18T02:35:54.179+08:002009-09-18T02:35:54.179+08:00Really beautiful flowers & pictures!
