I love the Texas Star Hibiscus, the color is beautiful and the simplicity of the flower makes it even more interesting.
The plant in the picture was growing in full sun and was started from seed. The unusual part about this particular plant is that the three flowers are different from each other. One flower has the usual five petals, while the next has six petals and the third one has seven.
I have never seen this anomaly before or after, so I think it is very unique. Smiling
