Thanks, Linda, and, yes, white flowers are difficult to get, so was quite pleased with these shots.

Kedi, in Sri-Lanka these flowers are commonly known as Shoe flowers. reason being that you can use these flowers to polish your leather shoes ;D really. We still call them 'shoe flowers'

How strange, you learn something new every day!
It is one of two (three?) that I bought for the kids some years ago. Actually for Junior's birthday instead of cut flowers. The other(s) were pulled out as weeds the next year, made me quite angry. The kids are useless gardeners, both son and d-i-l.

I love peach-coloured flowers, there is just something about this colour that stands apart from all other colours.

Thanks DAG.
The people we bought the house from were obviously Hibiscus lovers and there are lots of them, some of them really big, old bushes, too.
The neighbours said that she worked in a garden shop and often got things cheap, so took advantage of it and saved a lot of money. Now we have the benefit of it.
