Thought I'd post some pics of my native hibiscus, flowering now. These are brighter-coloured hybrids that DGs doesn't yet recognise as valid cultivars, although they're sold that way here in Australia.

Here are two cultivars of H. heterophyllus: 'Abbey's tangerine' at top and 'Brick Red' at bottom. The blooms are unscented, last only a day and the plant is prickly. But they're pretty!
