This is Violet's other Hibiscus.  Each flower is as big as a dinner plate.  They are fabulous!!  The plant is in a huge pot on the deck, and about a dozen blossoms open every day.  

 

It is a tropical plant, and doesn't survive our winters outside.  But she cuts them all the way back and puts them in her garage attic.  She told me that she gives them a little water every couple weeks.  And they do this every year in the summer.

 

 

FABULOUS!!!
