Hibiscus tiliaceus is a species of flowering tree in the mallow family, Malvaceae. Common names include sea hibiscus, beach hibiscus, coastal (or coast) hibiscus, among others …
“Malvaceae, or the mallows, is a family of flowering plants estimated to contain 244 genera with 4225 known species.” - Wikipedia
The flowers of H. tiliaceus are bright yellow with a deep red center upon opening. Over the course of the day, the flowers deepen to orange and finally red before they fall. The branches of the tree often curve over time.
The leaves are heart shaped. They are very pleasing to the eye – to mine, anyway.
Beds of Sea Hibiscus sitting pretty along a walk path. They are trimmed every couple of months so they look nice and tidy.
These are sea hibiscus in the wild. As you see, they grow to quite big trees. Their leaves are bigger and 'rougher', not as refined as those cultivated.
