Took a short stroll through the City Park Sunken Garden. Most of the plants are well past peak flowering, except for this one tucked way back in the corner. I don't know what plant this is, but it has very impressive blooms.
I photographed one quite like this in my daughter's garden yesterday; seems to be a type of hibiscus! I always thought they were tropical flowers, but, though a late-summer bloomer here in the north-east, it clearly comes through the winters to bloom again!
