Tropical Zone Gardening: Restless natives of the Top End, 1 by tropicbreeze

I've been spending a bit of time sorting old photos, cropping them and sizing them. Have been taking more photos as well. It's the wet season so plant growth is rampant. The monsoon stopped earlier this week and the sun's been out which prompts a lot of flowering. It always happens during breaks in the monsoon and I take advantage with the camera. I've got over 70 more photos ready to upload, but unfortunately my internet connection is slow. But, on with the show.

I'll start with Hibiscus, and hibiscus look-alikes because sometimes I don't know the difference.

This photo is of the leaf that Dave asked for from the first Hibiscus at the top of this thread. Turns out it's different to the one I've got in the pot at home.

As mentioned in the other posts, it most likely Abelmoschus moschatus.)
