It makes a great indoor plant or a great addition to your outdoor garden.

A big salute to my Jatropa tree for it stood the cold weather for me and profucing these cheerful red flowers non-stopping the whole winter

The past week we have been experiencing almost daily  showers  at small-small intervals. I just love the flowers and all my potted plants with rain drops on, so fresh and lovely
The so called single-petaled Hibiscus has a single tier of five petals. This red  variety is the national flower of Malaysia. It is robust, carries many blooms and rather disease-free so much so that at one time, it was commonly used as living hedges. Recently there seems to be a revival of  this practice.
The hibiscus flower appears to be quite cheeky with its "tongue" sticking out. 
The petals are seen peeking out, waiting to burst at the seams of the calyx. 
The next day it emerged and protruded forwards.
The next day it emerged and protruded forwards.
When the hibiscus is in full bloom, the petals flare out and curve slightly backwards. The edge of the petals are frilly.  

The staminal tube comprising anthers and five-branched stigmata hangs freely down and sways with the breeze.
With their striking vermilion hue, these Hibiscus flowers overshadow the jatropa  which are so high from above and below.  

This variety has green variegated leaves. Very beautiful when they turn to yellow I just pick them up and wrap around the up-cycled pots

The numerous anthers seem to be swollen with their contents. The stigmata are covered with fine filaments. 
Later in the day the anthers burst to release fine pollens.
This bush was transported from nursery to my yard, then re-potted here in this small area where it seems to be thriving. In order to transplant this Hibiscus plant,  I had all the flowers and most of the leaves pruned off.

You don't need a green thumb to grow this one. You can easily root by clipping, waiting 2 days and then inserting in. You can make lots of babies to share with your friends. It thrives on neglect which will be just fine for most people.

Add it to your favourites to revisit it later.
