Gumamela/Hibiscus

Two colors of gumamela/hibiscus I spotted at a parking lot near the Manila Ocean Park.  Hibiscus is a pretty common flower here, we usually take it for granted.  I'm glad somebody took time to plant these flowers in the parking lot.

Flowers are sent to do God's work in unrevealed paths, and to diffuse influence by channels that we hardly suspect.  ~ Henry Ward Beecher

A rain-kissed hibiscus at a garden in Quezon.
With hundreds of hybrids, I have no idea what this peach Hibiscus is called.
