Hibiscus Hybrid [Explored]

Earlier in the year I purchased a potted Hibiscus bush, in hopes of drawing butterflies to my back patio. A day or so after placing it there, it turned very cold, and all of the flower buds (over 20) fell off. I fertilized the plant, and have since been rewarded with over 50 blooms, but no butterflies...yet. This is a hybrid plant, as natural hibiscus flowers only have 5 petals.

 

This shot was taken inside with a combination of sunlight and florescent light, then adjusted in Lightroom 5.
