My neighbor owns this Hibiscus plant.
The blossoms are the largest I've ever seen.
I'm not kidding.....They are about 9 inches in diameter
I've also never seen a hibiscus with this type of coloration.
I've gotta find out where he got it and get on
Enjoy........Bob Williams

It sure is a beauty Bob and a beaut photo to boot.
We have many of that colour here.

Thanks Barbara.
The Hibiscus should be the official Flower of San Diego, where I live.
They are everywhere....Easy to grow....Prolific bloomer....Hardy...etc.
TYPICALLY, single blooms are about 4-5 inches in diameter and come in
Red, Orange or Yellow. I've seen some doubles with a bit of shading but
never with such a distinct pattern of color.
Maybe this puppy was imported from AUS/NZ. I'll find out.
Here is a nice Yellow I shot yesterday. Pretty typical for S.D.
