I have this bush in front of my front door. It had a very hard time in the last year. The summer was way too hot and the winter too cold....lucky to see new buds coming up :-)

It was evening time with practically very poor light!! Tried to fix an artificial light source but found the results not quite impressive so carried on with fading light!

They are double hibiscus bud!
