 this picture was taken during a recent trip to Kuantan, Malaysia. Hibiscus rosa-sinensis is the national flower of Malaysia. This species can be found in Singapore too, however there are many other colours like yellow, pink, white, red or orange.  Do you grow them in your country?

Maybe as a house plant.  That's a lovely bloom, I like the reddish-pink center branching out into the petals.

What an attractive bloom. Like Droopy I can't grow these plants outdoors as our climte would kill them off here in Scotland.

What a beautiful picture!!!!
I have a red hibiscus growing in my back yard. The blossoms are HUGE. When I bought the plant they told me it was an annual. This will be it's 4th or 5th year!!!! That is amazing considering I live in zone 6 and we know what winter is!
