Christmas Day. Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, Chinese Hibiscus, Lima, Peru

In the biblical Song of Songs 2.1, exegesis has it that Jesus - Christ - refers to himself as a Rose of Sharon. There's been a lot of debate about the precise flower that would be. One of the options is the Hibiscus syriacus. My photo doesn't picture it but rather a Hibiscus chinensis, the Chinese Hibiscus, and a hybrid at that. It's Christmas Day! Enjoy!
