The red hibiscus looks like a Gumamela for me :) I would love to have this different flowers in our front or backyard. I can look at them the whole day .
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers! Although I'm bad at remembering scientific names, I'm glad you shared this. The Tropical Hibiscus (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis) looks like a galaxy. <3
ReplyDeleteHibiscus is one of my favorite flower. So beautiful to look at!
ReplyDeleteThe multi-coloured stands out.
ReplyDeleteAre they Gumamelas? They look like Gumamelas, heehee, but I'm only familiar with the red one.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that there are many different colors of Hibiscus. I love the orange one the most!
ReplyDeleteHmmm. I never knew there are hibiscus in other colors aside from yellow. They look cute. :)
ReplyDeleteSome of the Hibiscus looks like our own Gumamela. I'm not really that quite familiar with this specific kind of flower, I'm more into tulips and some roses. I know that Hibiscus is used in gourmet cooking though, a Hibiscus extract. :)
ReplyDeleteI had a Hibiscus phase several years ago when I was working on a beach project. Their colors are vibrant and could easily brighten any dull day. The orange hibiscus is my favorite - it's not a usual color, same as the blue-purple hibiscus.
ReplyDeleteBefore my grandmother passed away she had a lot of Hibiscus flowers in her garden area. They were her favorite. Beautiful pictures
ReplyDeleteIt would be great to have a garden full of different colored hibiscus. It can make me feel relaxed just by looking at them. :)
ReplyDeleteI've seen some of the colors but I've never seen blue yet. It looks really cool. I love the flowers. They are all beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love the White, Red, and Blue-Purple Hibiscus. These look perfect for a special event like Valentines or even Weddings. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI was going to say the Pink Hibiscus is beautiful when I saw the Multi-Colour Hibiscus! Oh gosh, the beautiful radiance...
ReplyDeleteThe hibiscus is a really colorful flower. I like the multicolored one the most.
ReplyDeleteWow I really like the multi coloured one in the last picture. The thing about hibiscus though, they do not last long once cut!
ReplyDeleteThe gumamela is a very underrated flower. We all know it from our elementary and high school science class. It really has its own charm and beauty. There are so many kinds and colors as we see here.
ReplyDeleteThese are really beautiful hibiscus, I have seen the red and white ones. But the Tropical Hibiscus (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis) is the one I love most.
ReplyDeleteIsn't gumamela the local name for Hibiscus in our country? Anyway, I have seen the colorful ones here in the Philippines and some parts of Papua New Guinea though this is my first time to see a white one looking like that. It's pretty cute! Great decor for weddings too!
ReplyDeleteThose are variations of "gumamela" right??? Looks really the same juat diff in color
