The hibiscus plant you see above now belongs to me. I was so taken with the giant flower that I had to have it in my garden. The flower seller told me that it was a new species of hibiscus but then I was rather hesitant as the leaves didn't look too much like the ones I know. However, after I looked up the facts from the Internet, I could safely say it is a hibiscus. It goes by the scientific name, Hibiscus moscheutos (Swamp-rose Mallow or Rose mallow) and is a cold-hardy perennial wetland plant that can grow in large colonies.
There are many buds on my plant and I can't wait for them to bloom. I'll share pictures with you once that happens.
