I love seeing hibiscuses and their native relatives rosemallows blooming at the local gardens. Here in the DC area, there are several native mallows that bloom all summer long. Some hibiscuses can survive the winters here, but many are tropical plants that need to be indoors to survive.

I’m always looking for more members of the hibiscus family to photograph – when I find a few more – I’ll be sure to share them with you.
I do have several hibiscus photos for sale as matted prints – you can see them on my website at http://beautifulflowerpictures.com/collection/mallow/
