We went to a friends house in Marion, IL. and his neighbor has these flowers. They are beautiful!! I just fell in love with them but cant figure out what they are. They are so big and vibrant!!

Wow!! Thanks!!Originally Posted by RoseHawke
Sara's correct, Hibiscus. They're usually treated as an annual around here (cause they're so cheap,) and you can find them very inexpensively in the springtime at the home centers and nurseries.
Here's a neat website I just found:

Haven't explored it yet, but looks promising!

I never realized that got that big either!!! Arent they just so pretty? I want some now.Originally Posted by dicknleah
I didn't realize they got that big. I sent my mother in Florida one a few years ago. Now I'm jealous as they wont grow here.
Where in Washington are you? If you're closer to the coast you might be able to grow hardy hibiscus! I didn't even know there was such a thing to tell you truthfully, I assumed they were all tropicals and the hardy varieties don't look as if they're as showy, but they're hardy to zone 4!Originally Posted by dicknleah

They look like Hibiscus to me, but I'm no expert.
