Thanks to Steve Frowlne for identifying this flower found in my friend Carol Lopez’s garden.

Here is a bit more information about it, thanks to Wikipedia: Hibiscus schizopetalus is a species of Hibiscus native to tropical eastern Africa in Kenya, Tanzania and Mozambique. Its common names include fringed rosemallow,[1] Japanese lantern, coral hibiscus, and spider hibiscus.

It couldn’t be further away from Cee’s tulip that is her flower of the day.  To see hers, go here:

      Thanks, Taphian. When I saw it I thought it looked like a hibiscus…but just the stamens and pistils…a friend who is a horticulturist let me know the name and I was right–just didn’t have confidence in my judgement and no time to do the research. I’m so glad I have smart friends.
