I believe your mystery flower is a hibiscus. I’ve never seen a yellow one. They do flower in Canada during the summer months and I have a couple of these plants in my garden but have to bring them into the house in the fall. They don’t winter in our climate. Bravo, it is a very special photo.
Hey Marianne, you are correct. I forgot to identify the flower at the time and when I was leaving the Garden club when one of the volunteers gave the name. 🙂
So beautiful….!! great captures 😊
Such a beautifully colored hibiscus. 😀
I have seen gorgeous pink hibiscus in Barbados, so I recognized the blooms. Gorgeous!!
Hey thanks Serena, I will look for the pink color on the internet. They are beautiful.
Here in Mexico they are called Obelisco flowers…and the red ones are used to make a drink called Jamaica. Very popular and usually served cold with sugar.
Hey Judy, I will log this bit of information and try the drink one day. 🙂
If you actually make it, put the dried flower petals in a collander and rinse them off before you actually put them in the boiling water. I even soak mine in cold water for 10 minutes, then rinse them in a collander. It makes a big difference in the taste of the jamaica. Takes the bitterness away.
Hey Judy, thanks I searched using You Tube and found the recipe for Aqua De Jamaica. 🙂
Hibiscus? Seen floating in tropical drinks and pinned into ladies hair.
Beautiful photos.
