Beside the Fence Post, Hibiscus
Over at the local library, we found this hibiscus. The flower was huge, like 8 inches in diameter, close to twice the size of the Rose of Sharon, Hibiscus syriacus, I have growing in my yard, . The color of the leaves was interesting, with a tinge of red. I did not discover the botanical name in a short search on the internet.

I have a huge Red one like this. Everyone who walks past my yard comments on it. They call it a dinner plate Hibiscus. Doubt that is its real name but with the size of the flowers I can fully understand why they call it that! Nice photo!
