THERE'S A MOON OUT TODAY!

A new variety of hibiscus...(hibiscus rosa-sinensis) called "Fullmoon" 
No big stamen in the middle like a regular hiciscus, just lots of ruffled petals. Sometimes I think the folks at Monrovia have to keep their botanists happy by letting them create new stuff. It's about 7" across. I'm growing the plant in a pot so I might be able to keep it in the heated greenhouse over the winter months...it doesn't like temps below about 40 degrees because it's a heat loving tropical.
