if you had all day you wouldn't guess the name of this hibiscus!

At the Dallas Arboretum last Friday the name placard by this flower read "Cherry Mojito Hibiscus". We laughed and said we would love to know the criteria for naming plants!

I think you have to have a drink before naming the flowers :) FAV

[Carole Sandford]

You are quite right, I would have never guessed the name of this "boozy" plant! Love Hibiscus, only get to see them on hot holidays though.

[Danette Thompson]

Naming plants is almost as mysterious as naming nail polish! Pretty shot!

[Henri Russell]

No, Cherry Mojito, would never be my choice. Maybe they didn't know what color it was when they named it. Good capture.

Fantastic capture of this beautiful hibiscus! I googled "cherry mojito" and the colors are actually quite similar, the center of course being the cherry. Cherry mojitos sound and look absolutely delicious! :-)

Thank you for your great comments and favs. I do love mojitos, but would have never thought of a cherry flavored one!
