Description
Such a beautiful pink in this Hibiscus flower, seeming to hide in a background of green leaves and shadow. Many colors of these flowers grow all over Hawaii and Polynesia, and in just about any warm climate anywhere. The yellow Hibiscus is Hawaii's State Flower.
The only hibiscus that aren't hybrid flowers are the original wild species hibiscus that originally grew in the tropics of Asia and islands off of Africa. Species plants, by definition, can self-pollinate the flower and make seeds that will reproduce the same exact plant and flower. If a hybrid hibiscus produces seeds, each seed will produce a completely different hibiscus with an unknown flower, so hybrid hibiscus varieties cannot be reproduced from seed. Only species hibiscus can.
