Macro Purple Hibiscus

There was a time when every hibiscus seemed to be red. Purples I always like.

I had never ever seen one this colour before with creamish white stamen its leaves are unlike a normal hibiscus - so it might be something entirely different..............?


here is the leaf

This would appear to be it - same leaves, and it's billed as an hibiscus: http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/showimage/14150/

Well done Dave .....looked like a Hibiscus thanks for the verification

Purple or blue, depending on the light. I have the same effect with one of our Clematis.

Very well captured John.

Thanks Dave, glad that you liked it

Even in the photo here some petals are purple and other parts deep blue - spectrum issue affected by light
