Nice shots I like the colour and the comparisons, I always think the name Hibiscus is a funny name 🙂

Often times one has to wonder where a name originated and Hibiscus is definitely one of those times.

I think Steve will find the origin more funny than the word itself….lol.

Origin
Latin, from Greek hibiskos, which Dioscorides identified with the marsh mallow.

I supose the little things in the center of the bloom might resemble marshmallows, but the name & origin are humorus.

Beautiful shots! Every year when we visit the nurseries, we look at the Hibiscus plants but they are kind of pricey, but every year I have my camera, the photos are free!!
Have a great weekend!!

My wife did the plant shopping so I have no idea what was paid for this showy plant, but I do like to photograph it.
