It looks like some type of hibiscus, but I have never seen one like it. Does it make seed? Very pretty.

I found this photograph on the net Olga and it looks very similar to yours. It's a red hibiscus so maybe you were right. Pity the foliage isn't showing well in this piccie though.

The thing about this flower is that the petals are flat, not like the hibuscus that's curled a bit. the bloom is like the regular size of a hibiscus.

Can you get a lighter picture of it, it is very hard to see. Maybe a pic of the leaves too.
