Confederate Rose

    From the beer run on the way home.
    The Confederate Rose, Hibiscus mutabilis, originated in China, but it has found a new home at Judson College. This hot weather hibiscus is closely related to cotton and okra. The Confederate Rose is a large shrub that can reach heights of fifteen feet and widths of ten feet. Leaves are five to seven inches. The double flowers are four to six inches in diameter.

      Very pretty, nice and crisp. I've seen this flower before, I think, but I never knew what it was called. Thanks for the beautiful picture and the information.
