Having lived in the tropics in my childhood, I thought Hibiscus were native to the lands near the equator. When my daughter, in Massachusetts, said she had a hibiscus in her yard, I couldn't imagine it could survive cold (Really COLD!) winters! There's no mistaking the form, so with some research, I think she has a "Midnight Marvel" with nearly black leaves, clusters of buds and saucer-sized blooms that rival any tropical blossom!
That shade of Black-Red is incredible and I did no color adjustment! I think I need one of these in California!
Great close up of this lovely red flower. Fav.
