Hibiscus rosa-sinensis (Rose of China / San Joaquín)

In my garden. La Ceja, Colombia.

 

Because it reached its highest development as an ornamental plant in China, and as most early cultivars were collected there and shipped to Europe, the species was given its name rosa-sinensis or Rose of China (China Rose). Today there is almost unlimited variation in shades of colour.
