Confederate / Cotton rose

This is 'Fuyou' or Confederate rose. The other English name is Cotton rose. The botanical name is Hibiscus mutabilis.







There are other kind of 'Fuyou', 'Sui-Fuyou', which opens the white flower in the morning and changes the color to red in the evening. The meaning of 'Sui' is get drunk. The pictures were taken at around 15:20, so this seems to be a normal 'Fuyou' (^_^)
