Description
A late afternoon capture of this gorgeous vibrant yellow Hibiscus on a black background.
I believe this to be a fairly new hybrid variety that bloom and grow as profusely as garden variety Hibiscus, but with bigger, more interesting exotic flowers. This one I believe is called " Allegro " which is one of these new crazy blooming hybrids. It shines with ruffly 6-8" vivid yellow blooms with a bright red eye. It comes from two extremely prolific bloomers on super, lush bushes - 'Simple Pleasures' and 'Hot Pepper.' This is a hibiscus that is easy to grow, blooms prolifically, and looks beautiful with very little effort.

[From Wikipedia]
Hibiscus is a genus of flowering plants in the mallow family, Malvaceae. It is quite large, containing several hundred species that are native to warm-temperate, subtropical and tropical regions throughout the world. Member species are often noted for their showy flowers and are commonly known simply as hibiscus, or less widely known as rose mallow. The genus includes both annual and perennial herbaceous plants, as well as woody shrubs and small trees. The generic name is derived from the Greek word ἱβίσκος (hibiskos), which was the name Pedanius Dioscorides (ca. 40-90) gave to Althaea officinalis.
Symbolism and culture
The hibiscus is the national flower of Haiti and is used in their national tourism slogan of Haiti: Experience It! The Hibiscus species also represents several other nations. The Hibiscus syriacus is the national flower of South Korea, and Hibiscus rosa-sinensis is the national flower of Malaysia. The red hibiscus is the flower of the Hindu goddess Kali, and appears frequently in depictions of her in the art of Bengal, India, often with the goddess and the flower merging in form. The hibiscus is used as an offering to goddess Kali and Lord Ganesha in Hindu worship.
The hibiscus flower is traditionally worn by Tahitian and Hawaiian girls. If the flower is worn behind the left ear, the woman is married or in a relationship. If the flower is worn on the right, she is single or openly available for a relationship.[citation needed] The hibiscus is Hawaii's state flower.
