i found this blossom at a nursery. the plant only had the one flower & one bud. the bud was the strange yellow color like the flower pictured. did someone create this bizarre flower on purpose? i still can’t tell if i like it or not…but it certainly caught my attention.

It is very easy to hybrid Hibiscus then use this seeds to grow by doing that to create new flower colour. It is fun and full of surprises!

I just LOVE IT, it screams out perfect perfection in the most bizarre strange way! Every little detail of this wonderful flower is out of this world, the color, the design, the texture….must be the most beautiful alien plant created by nature or by a human being(which ever I don’t care actually) I ever saw! Thanks for sharing your amazing discovery and for a wonderful shot!

I loved it too…but still there was something strange about it. It looked like a dying flower, but it was not at all. So to me it was a bit like seeing decay. I may go back & get it so I can watch the blossoms come & go, just so I know what it is meant to be! I’m so glad you loved it, Eva. I hope it inspires a wonderful shoe design or inspires you to head to a near by nursery! ~amy

It looks like a tropical hibiscus hybrid of some sort.

You’re welcome! There are some pretty wild hybrids out there these days…I used to follow the work of some of the hybridizers (I’m a big plant nerd).
