Red Painted Hibiscus

The Smithsonian has apparently created this special hybrid hibiscus just for its tropical garden. It has not divulged the name, so I gave it a name for my album.

This is ngorgeous--I mlove the way the white smudged effect is in the same part of each petal, so that the more red sections seem to form another flower within a flower, if that makes sense. So glad you shared this, fav for me!
