| What an amazing flower! |
To all you flower-loving babes out there—can you please tell me the name of this flower? I saw it in front of more than one house on a recent trip to Ithaca, NY and I fell in love with it! The blossoms are so big, showy and beautiful! I saw it in several colors, like a pink-tinged white and a dark pink, but my favorite was this red.

If you happen to know the name of this flower, please let me know what it is!

is it a hibiscus? we had them in my yard when i was little, but i haven't had one since. lovely!
I wondered if it was a hibiscus, but it seemed so big that I doubted myself. I am still learning the names of flowers. If it is a hibiscus, I have never seen one that size! XO, Jill
It is definitely a hibiscus and probably a hybrid that produces very large blossoms.
Sorry, cannot answer your question.
But: the flower is stunning! Wish I had those in a huge pot ;-) or in a vase on my desk - they'd really make my day!!
Have a lovely Sunday :-) xo
Looks like a hibiscus x
Hibiscus! Love them, and my favorite is the yellow, although they arent as large in the yellow! xoxo
Oh my-how gorgeous! I have never grown hibiscus but this is a beauty!

Yes Hibiscus...NOT the tropical variety though. Here is a link:

Thank you ladies so much for the info. The only hibiscus I have seen in person before this beauty was much smaller in comparison. Who knew Ithaca could grow such gigantic flowers. I saw these in several places in my grandmother's neighborhood. Wow! XO, Jill
It's a hibiscus. Probably Big Red.
Lots of hibiscus here but I have never seen such a biggy... Wow! I keep it in my mind for a new scarf inspiration!
Thanks a lot for featuring the ANNE TOURAINE Paris™ scarves. See you hopefully in NYC :-) Hibiscus tea or champagne???
Hugs,
Anne
Hi Janet, thanks for telling me even more information. I love that name. Big Red! XO, Jill
Oh Anne, the pattern on that flower would make a glorious detail on a scarf! I can't wait to meet you soon. Ha, you know I love champagne, but we may have to toast over tea instead! XO, Jill
So gorgeous...it is similar to an hibiscus, but I have many hibiscus and none are like this....it is so pretty.
The plant is called, Hibiscus Moscheutos or Rose Mallow. I hope this helps. They're very hardy as well unlike their tropical cousins.
