Here is a gorgeous plant that most of us are familiar with. The Texas Star ;
( Hibiscus coccineus ) I really love this flower, when it is in bloom it is a show stopper, and everybody that goes by wants to know what it is. This is a native to East Texas, where it grows naturally around the swamps, so it likes a lot of water. However it doesn't have to be drowned,
I have some growing on my wildflower slope in full sun and facing south, so it can live where it is not very wet too. Emerging Texas Star; 3-28-05.
