Hibiscuses or hibiscii ?

Our hibiscus is in full bloom. Amazing thing is that this exotic looking plant is a perennial that manages to survive the harsh New England winter. Today there are four dinner plate sized blooms. Each flower only lasts a day but there are plenty more on the way.

Very hot and humid here at the moment with temperatures in the mid nineties and the humidity hovering around 70%. Phew... time for a cold beer!
