Love the collage! All the Hibiscus are in full bloom here now too...however, they bloom all year -- with heaviest blooming period from early spring - late fall.

Thanks Sixpence and Delonix.
Delonix ... yes most of my Hibiscus bloom all year round too, except for the Lipstick - Malvaviscus arboreus, so this is the only time of year when all are in bloom together.

Malvaviscus arboreus blooms most of the year here also...except the middle of winter. It grows wild in our parks in semi-shaded areas mostly under trees.
My dad said when he was a kid in Hawaii he used to drink the sap from the flowers...I was never was brave enough to this though. lol! : > )
