purple hibiscus

came upon this lovely purple hibiscus at spring orchard, the red dragon fruit farm at lim chu kang lane 4. at this same farm, i saw a white hibiscus last year.

this sea hibiscus is a common find at sungei buloh wetland reserve. this one was seen at the kranji trail, just outside the reserve. if you look up at the sea hibiscus tree, you will actually see yellow and orange flowers. this is because the flower starts as a yellow one and turns orange as it gets older. so, when it drops to the ground, it is an orange flower.
