hibiscus

Large showy flower

Hibiscus is a genus of flowering plants known for their large, showy blossoms with prominent stamens, often in vivid colors like red, pink, orange, and yellow.

The flowers are commonly associated with tropical and subtropical climates and appear frequently in Hawaiian imagery, where they serve as the state flower.

Hibiscus tea, made from dried hibiscus petals, has a tart, cranberry-like flavor and deep red color.
