It's sometimes hard to spot the Hibiscus flower in amongst that fabulous foliage.

Yes the Foliage is a fabulous colour pink, and yet the flower looks so red against it.

It is definitely the showiest of Hibiscus shrubs! They're a very common sight in gardens here. Often they're used as hedging or screening.

This is absolutely beautiful! I occasionally see this variety for sale here. The white and green variegated one is very commonly sold here.

Yes, Andy, the 'Snowflake' as we call it with the white and green variegated leaves is just as common as this one. I think every second garden has at least one of each somewhere!

Yes, I had forgotten the variety name (for a miniute) lol! :>)
One day I'll have to buy one...however, now I have to sell off many plants. I have too many. lol!
